Nothing brings learning to life like working with schools in other countries
Building a partnership with a school in another country is a powerful way to bring global learning to life. Whether you want to broaden pupils’ understanding of global issues, strengthen language learning or enrich existing curriculum projects, an international connection can inspire both students and teachers.
Schools Partner Finder
The British Council’s Schools Partner Finder is our free online website that helps teachers discover and connect with schools around the world.
Through the platform you can:
- Search for partner schools by country, age group, subject or theme.
- Discover schools already interested in joint projects.
- Connect with educators who share your goals and interests.
Considerations before finding a partner school:
- Your objectives – What do you want pupils and staff to gain?
- Your priorities – Are you interested in a particular country, subject or theme?
- What your school brings – Strengths, cultural insights or specialist expertise you can share.
- School context – Whether you’d prefer a school with similar demographics or a contrasting one.
- Project ideas – The types of joint activities or curriculum links you’d like to develop.
- Practicalities – The tools and resources you’ll use to communicate and collaborate.
- Team involvement – Who in your school will support and contribute to the partnership.
