In 1948, UNESCO published a radical pamphlet, written by Marie-Therese Maurette, the then Director of the International School of Geneva, who in promoting the need for “International-mindedness”, posited that this was a concept which needed to be “taught rather than caught”.

ISA BOARD MEMBERS 2018
The governing board of ISA continues to be run by volunteers and the work of the organization is carried out by them. ISA is very much, even today, a grass roots organization and because of this it is an attraction to many educators and schools. But the Association is always in need of members who are interested and willing to contribute to the daily work of ISA. - Jim Mc Lellan
Growing our International Community
This year ISA can count on the support of 10 New School Members. We would like to give a strong WELCOME to our newest schools: SEK Guayaquil (Ecuador), International School of Western Australia (Australia), Santa Monica International School (Japan) and Gentry International School (Philippines). With these new members and our strong school network we can continue to publicize the aims and principles of international schools and promote international understanding among national schools.
