Schools are invited to join the growing global COBIS network of quality schools worldwide. To apply submit an application form and supporting documentation as indicated on the form.
Applications are invited to apply for the following COBIS membership categories:
- Executive Member
- Member
- Associate Member
- Candidate School
All applications will be considered by the COBIS Membership Committee and the COBIS Executive Committee.
Please note: Pending applications will next be reviewed on 12 May 2012.
Completed applications will need to reach the COBIS Head office at least 5 days before these dates.
The COBIS Membership Committee or the Executive Committee may decide that a membership visit is necessary before the school can be offered COBIS membership. The visit may be conducted by:
a) The Executive Director, a member of the Executive Committee, or
b) The Head of a Member school, appointed by the Executive Committee, or
c) A suitably qualified person nominated by the Executive Committee
The visit will normally last 2/3 school days, depending on the size and complexity of the school. The aim of the visit is to establish that the school meets the required standards for COBIS membership.
Following the visit a report will be submitted to the Membership Committee which will report to the Executive Committee with a recommendation about the school's application.
A membership visit may also be required for schools that wish to switch from COBIS Candidate School status to another membership category.
All direct costs involved with the visit will be met by the school. This will include such items as travel, meals, hotel accommodation, etc.
