The Schools Index is an annual publication that lists internationally notable private schools and international schools. Published by Carfax Education, it is often considered a global list of the most prestigious schools of the world. In 2025 Time Out (magazine) called the Index "one of the most respected rankings" and "a prestigious list of the very best private schools in the world".
The index is intended as a resource for parents in choosing schools for their children. The publication includes information on each school's curriculum and fees. It also provides logistical details such as travel time to local airports.
