About the ISA

The British Council International School Award has been established for more than 10 years in the UK and is now gradually being introduced in schools all around the world.

The ISA offers:

• A framework for international partnerships and global learning
• Recognition for teachers and their schools
• Opportunities to raise the school's profile through local and national media.

UK schools can apply for the ISA from within this section. Schools in other countries should see the Regions page which gives more details about the opportunities in each world region.

The ISA accreditation framework helps you to record and evaluate international work and embed it into the curriculum and whole school ethos. This website supports ISA accreditation and so supports schools worldwide to set up:

• International policy – international work in school planning
• Staff development – training and CPD
• Collaborations with partner schools – projects, activities, communication
• Curriculum-based work across a range of subjects – global learning
• Involvement of the wider community – parents, businesses, social projects
• And for UK schools: Self-evaluation to achieve the full award level of accreditation.
