COBIS Training Schools are internationally recognised institutions that play a vital role in supporting the development of the global school workforce. By supporting initial teacher training and serving as regional hubs for continuous professional development (CPD), these schools foster professional learning networks that encourage collaboration, networking, and the sharing of best practice among educators and CPD leaders worldwide. Through this work, COBIS Training Schools model excellence and strengthen professional learning across the COBIS community.

We are delighted to announce that the following schools will become COBIS Training Schools from the 2026/2027 academic year:
