What will characterize international education in US public schools?

This article develops a working model for international education in US public schools with consideration of the curricula and accreditation standards utilized by the broad group of overseas institutions known as `international schools'. It addresses the public international school identity question in a decade in which public schools in many states and countries are taking an increasing interest in international education and in nurturing globally-minded students; the article also proposes a web-based forum in which such a model can be further refined.
