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

The International School Award (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, 267 schools in Nepal have participated in ISA and 84 have won the full award.
