Exclusive features from some of our 2024 International School Award winners will be available to read in future issues of ISL Magazine, with the next issue releasing in June.

Winning the ISA was tremendously impactful, giving us a bit of a “mouse that roared” reputation and solidifying our role as one of Asia’s top schools…This past year we have seen a great growth of enthusiasm and pride in our entire school community. It is impossible really to attribute that new strength solely to this award, but it certainly is one of the first things parents brag about to other parents, and teachers tell colleagues from other schools,” said Jadis Blurton, Head of School at The Harbour School (THS) in Hong Kong, when the school received an International School Award.

More details on application requirements, the process, and judging for the 2025 International School Awards are now available. All international schools are encouraged to submit applications by Friday 5th July 2024. Schools receiving International School Awards will be announced and celebrated during the week of Monday 20th January 2025.

We look forward to discovering how international schools worldwide are contributing towards a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable future. Good luck to all applicants!
