The International School Awards 2025 are now open for applications. The closing date for this year’s applications is Friday 5th July 2024.
Hosted annually in January by ISC Research, the International School Awards shine a spotlight on the inspiring initiatives developed and led by international school leaders, educators and students.
The International School Awards offer an opportunity to showcase your school’s best practices, creative endeavours, and innovations. Applications must highlight a specific initiative that meets three essential criteria:
- Supporting at least two of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Rooting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ)
- Supporting your school and/or local community
Once you have selected the initiative to nominate, find more information on how to apply here. Additionally, you can also access valuable feedback on submitting a quality application from International School Award judges, both past and present, here.
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.

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!
