ECIS is pleased to announce the continued growth and development of the SISG (Sustainable International School Governance) Diploma Program.
The SISG is designed to provide professional development for high performance board members/trustees/governors/proprietors/owners of international schools and school heads. Additionally, business managers, administration managers and development directors find SISG programs to be highly beneficial.
In our rapidly changing world international schools are becoming highly complex multi-million euro/yen/dollar organizations.
Many board members have limited time to be effective in their role and often move on before they really understand the complexities and needs of modern international educational institutions.
Orientation and training opportunities are usually limited and not progressive. Research has repeatedly illustrated that sustainable development in international school governance is central to schools realizing their potential. |

SISG Diploma Program consists of three separate, but linked, modules that lead to the ECIS Diploma in Sustainable International School Governance. The modules are offered over weekends in October, March and May in London, and each focuses on specific topic areas and recognize, and is relevant to, the needs of many governance models currently operating in international schools throughout the world.
Each Module is highly interactive and consists of a combination of lectures, case studies and group work. The international faculty are drawn from the worlds of education, business and not-for-profit organizations. They bring to the ECIS Diploma in International School Governance program a fresh and meaningful approach (see Workshop Leaders).
Individual Certificates of Attendance are presented to those who attend each Module. Participants who complete all three modules will be awarded the ECIS Diploma for Sustainable International School Governance at the April Administrator’s Conference.
Participants may enrol independently, or as teams. While ECIS Membership is not compulsory, participants from ECIS Member Schools are offered a reduced member rate. There is also a reduction for schools enrolling 3 or more.
The ECIS SISG Programs now also include the SISG Regionals (1-3 day programmes offered by invitation and designed to suit groups of boards worldwide), and the new SISG Master Class (a one-day workshop for holders of the SISG Diploma). ECIS also offers Governance Consultancy.
To date governance leaders from over 35 schools have taken part in the ECIS SISG Programs. We look forward to welcoming your school to the ECIS SISG community.
