International School Award in British Council Nepal

The British Council International School Award (ISA) is a global accreditation scheme recognising good practices in incorporating international dimensions in schools. Successful schools are accredited for three years.

The range of schools participating in the International School Award varies from well-resourced private schools to government schools from rural areas and schools for the less advantaged communities. 

ISA acknowledges school collaboration internationally and provides a framework for recognising schools that:

• champion international work and collaboration with partners to build and develop lasting relationships
• benchmark best practice and share professional development in teaching and learning
• engage young people in both the global economy and global citizenship and develop their skills for life and work
• support whole-school projects that contribute towards school improvement
• enrich education through international work.

Since 2012, more than 500 schools in Nepal have participated in ISA and 146 have won the full award.  The International School Award now has a presence in 31 countries worldwide.
