International Maarif Schools Georgia

Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.

What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: A-Level (ages 16-18). A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

Created by Turkish law in 2016, it owns and runs schools itself rather than accrediting other people's. It works in several dozen countries under intergovernmental agreements.

What the badge means for this school. The foundation owns the school and runs it. That tells you who the owner is and under whose state auspices the school works, and nothing about the quality of teaching. If the school holds accreditations of its own, those are the ones to look at. The entry is confirmed in the organisation's open directory.
