A New Chapter for Outstanding Schools

Reimagining global education leadership for a new era of connection, innovation, and impact. 

For over a decade, Outstanding Schools has championed bold ideas and best practice in schooling. We've connected school leaders, championed progressive practice, and fostered some of the most meaningful professional learning moments in the sector. 

Now, we’re turning the page and writing a bold new chapter. 

Why Now? 

The world of education is evolving at lightning speed. From AI integration and curriculum shifts to workforce challenges and global mobility, international schools are navigating more complexity than ever before. And yet, at the heart of this change is an opportunity: to rethink how we lead, connect, and grow as a global community. 

That's why Outstanding Schools is relaunching; not just as an event series or content hub, but as a year-round collective for progressive education leaders worldwide. 

What’s New? 

We’re expanding our offering beyond the traditional conference model. The new Outstanding Schools is a living, breathing platform designed to meet the needs of educators all year long — through insight, connection, and high-impact experiences. 

Here’s what to expect:

Why It Matters

This is more than a relaunch. It’s a recommitment to the educators and leaders shaping tomorrow’s classrooms.
