We are delighted to share that we have joined the East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS), a not-for-profit association dedicated to improving educational practice and the professional growth of educators across East Asia.

EARCOS brings together a diverse and values-driven community of international schools, educators, and partners who share a common belief: that collaboration, evidence-informed practice, and professional learning are central to improving outcomes for young people. These principles sit at the heart of our own work, making EARCOS a natural and exciting partnership for us.

Our values are closely aligned. Like EARCOS, we believe in supporting schools through meaningful professional learning, fostering networks that encourage the sharing of best practice, and contributing positively to the wider international education community. EARCOS’ long-standing commitment to educator development, leadership, and regional collaboration strongly mirrors our own mission to support schools in building excellent teaching and learning cultures.

Speaking about the partnership, John Jenkinson, Head of International Development at Evidence Based Education said:

Joining EARCOS also strengthens our work across South East Asia, where we already partner with over 50 schools. Becoming part of the EARCOS community enables us to deepen these relationships, listen more closely to the evolving needs of schools in the region, and engage in conversations that shape high-quality, contextually relevant professional learning. It provides valuable opportunities to connect with school leaders and educators, contribute to professional dialogue, and ensure our work continues to be informed by regional insight and global best practice.

We see this membership not simply as an affiliation, but as an active commitment to collaboration and contribution. We look forward to learning alongside EARCOS member schools, sharing our expertise where it is helpful, and playing our part in strengthening international education across the region.

We are excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities this partnership brings.
