Join us as a Supporting Associate

Many of our Supporting Associates are already successfully working with schools in the UK but are looking to expand internationally. All COBIS schools have a British educational ethos where English is the primary language of instruction. This means marketing to them can be achieved in a familiar language and that you will already understand the curricular followed and the pupil assessment methods used.

All COBIS schools must undertake rigorous quality assurance in order to achieve and retain membership with COBIS. This is either through the COBIS Accreditation and Compliance schemes or through an external validation scheme such as a BSO inspection, CIS accreditation or NEASC accreditation. This ensures all our schools are quality British international schools who invest in their school, their staff, their students and their resources. This makes them a sensible target for businesses looking to promote quality educational products and services.

Reach more potential customers with your marketing by engaging with the schools in our association. With over 270 member schools in 80 countires to target, working with us can help you to reach more schools more quickly than other traditional sales channels. 

COBIS is a global association with schools based in 80 countries. This enables our Supporting Associates to engage with British international schools all around the world.

We work closely with our colleagues in the regional British international schools associations and many of our members are also a member of their regional association. For more information about regional British international school associations, please visit their websites.
