Indian schools that successfully attain the Full ISA Award are accredited for three years. During this time they will be able to use the British Council ISA for purposes of publicity and promotion of the school. The schools aspiring to the ISA are given advice and guidance by the British Council in planning, executing and recording international activity in the school.
The schools produce a portfolio of evidence showcasing the range of their international activity throughout the school year. The full accreditation process takes around 12 months to complete. The scheme has accredited about 670 schools in the UK since the initial pilot project in 1998.
