At Sai International School we believe in providing each and every student with a wide spectrum of international exposure via school exchange programmes and projects. Some of them are:

International School Award The DCSF (Dept for Children, Schools and Families) International School Award is an accreditation scheme for curriculum-based international work in schools. The scheme provides recognition for schools and teachers to instilla global dimension into the learning experience of all children and young people.

As guided by the British Council, the projects under this scheme are curriculum based, cover a variety of subjects and involve classes at every level as well as running throughout the school year. During any academic session, students of SAI International School enjoy interacting with other schools around the world to share knowledge, experience and learn from each other; which in turn will help them embrace cultural diversity as they grow and prepare for life on the world stage.

The new “Going Global” club of students, is coordinating the projects as well as assisting in promoting the international dimension in the school and maintaining links with other students, teachers. The club activities range from email video interaction with the students of other countries, researching cultures of other countries, exhibitions, cultural assemblies, and theme weeks.

DFID (Dept for International Development, UK) Global School Partnerships promotes partnerships between schools in the UK and schools in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The programme provides advice and guidance, professional development opportunities and grants to schools that are using school partnerships as a means for developing a global dimension within their curriculum. DGSP’s Reciprocal Visit Grant is funding for schools in the early stages of their partnership and allows for teachers of each school to visit their partner school for up to 5 days to plan joint curricular activities that will embed a global dimension into the schools’ curricula. The Global Curriculum Project Grant is aimed at established partnerships and allows for up to 2 teachers to travel to the partner school for project development as well as project costs as materials, supplies and training.

SAI-oneers have been working with students of various Schools, across the globe through regular video conferences under the Global School Partnership Program, UK. Since November 2008, students of Chosen Hill School, UK & SAI International have established the first partnership for reciprocal visit grant.
