International Schools are being invited to nominate themselves for the first ever Tes Awards for International Schools.
The awards build on the success of the Tes Schools Awards in the UK, which have been running for 15 years. These new awards will celebrate the commitment, quality and innovation shown by teachers and support staff across the globe.
Schools, staff members, and teams have until midnight (GMT) on Friday November 3 2023 to nominate themselves for the 2024 awards which will celebrate outstanding achievements during the 2022/23 academic year.

The awards are supported by leading international school associations, including BSME (British Schools in the Middle East), COBIS (Council of British International Schools), ECIS (The Education Collaborative for International Schools), FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia), and the IB (International Baccalaureate), a global leader in international education.
The awards panel judges, overseen by Tes international editor Dan Worth, will be announced shortly and will include school leaders, experts, and education researchers from across the globe.
