This book examines reasons for the ongoing growth of British schools in Asia and what the appeal of British education tells us about the past, present and future directions of the sector.
With the use of a post-colonial lens, it considers the notion of Britishness, ways in which British international schools represent a hybrid space between cultures, and how they are set in a dynamic and creative context that allows for new cultures to emerge. The book emphasises how engaging with localised contexts allows for fresh interpretations and understandings of the international to emerge. With an explicit focus on British satellite colleges, which refer to the overseas branches of British private schools, the book examines the challenges these schools face. Areas such as how to frame the school culture between a British and Asian context, what British values look like in an Asian cultural context, the importance of being explicit about identity and belonging, and the challenges around staffing and leadership more generally are explored.
This book will appeal to researchers and academics focussed on international schools, and particularly British international schools in East Asia, as well as those examining K-12 education in the post-colonial space.
