  • Each interested school should:

1. Submit an application form online which includes:

  • Name of the school
  • Country and city where the school is  located
  • Is the school Private or public?
  • What grade levels / number of students are a part of the school?
  • Name and email address for contact persons (2 or 3)

2. Motivation letter

  • Why does your school wish to join ISSE?
  • What can your school offer to the program?   

3. Virtual visit of the school

  • If an in-person visit from ISSE Administration to your school is not possible, providing details about your school environment as well as a virtual tour video and testimonials will assist in the decision making process. 
  • The application process is also easier if someone associated with the ISSE program recommends your school for ISSE.
  • If the school is accepted, ISSE Administration will work to match it with another school for an exchange as soon as possible or for the next school year.
  • A registration fee to become  an ISSE member school must be submitted, and an annual fee to remain a member will be due each year. The ISSE treasurer will send an invoice as a reminder.
  • New schools will have a coach or mentor school to help them through the process. The person who recommends the school could be that mentor.
