We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership between the Chartered College of Teaching and the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our shared commitment to promoting excellence in teaching and learning on both national and international scales.
Since its launch in 2017, the COBIS Patron’s Accreditation and Compliance scheme has supported over 200 schools around the world. COBIS, as an organisation, is always looking forward, and never standing still.
Today is a momentous day for global safeguarding with the official launch of the British International Schools Safeguarding Coalition (BISSC).
COBIS and UCAS are pleased to announce the recent joint signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
COBIS is pleased to announce the addition of Adeola Arofin (Principal, Temple Schools, Nigeria) and Milena Prodanić Tišma (Founder and Principal of Bright Horizons International British School of Zagreb and Kindergarten Horizons) to the COBIS Board.
