KNOWLEDGE SHARING
ISY Faculty Leading the Way
ISY is not only a place of learning for students, it is also a place of learning for the faculty and staff. ISY faculty learn new things while teaching but also while engaging in professional development opportunities where they can learn from each other and from people outside of ISY. Equally, we like to share waht we have learned with other teaching professionals in the hope that students and other schools can benefit from our knowledge. ISY’s excellent reputation has led to quite a number of these opportunities recently.
On March 14th and 15th there was a conference called ‘International Schools Asia Conference’ held in Bangkok.
