Schools

Turning school children into global citizens

We help UK and overseas children become global citizens by enabling them to learn about other cultures and prepare for life in the global economy.

What we do

We link thousands of schools around the globe for joint curriculum projects. We provide professional development for teachers and school leaders and run an award scheme to recognise schools that integrate an international component into their curriculum. We send assistants to teach languages in the UK and overseas, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Urdu, Mandarin and English.
