ISA

The International Schools Association was founded under Swiss Law in 1951 and as such is the most senior organization in the world of international education. It is an international non-governmental organization and the first educational NGO to be granted consultative status at UNESCO... Since 1951, ISA has been dedicated to consulting and providing educators with the necessary guidance needed to help schools define their understanding of the term "international" in education... In the 1980's ISA created an international program for middle schools (11 to 16 year old students), which with further development by the IBO became the IBMYP (International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program).
