In a dynamic region of cultural,
historical and geopolitical significance, collaboration
and the spirit of collegiality among schools is something
that NESA is proud of and upon which member schools
build. The Virtual Science Fair enables middle school
students who excel in their local science fair to "compete
virtually" with exemplary students from other
NESA schools, thereby overcoming the obstacles
of meeting face-to-face.
The Near East South Asia Council of Overseas
Schools (NESA) is a non-profit, voluntary
association of more than 75 international schools
in the Near East and South Asia, a region stretching
from Greece and Egypt in the west, to Nepal, Bangladesh,
and Sri Lanka in the east. Visit
NESA's website.
Member schools follow a US-style curriculum
and typically serve students of more than three dozen
nationalities. What unites NESA members is a commitment
to offering students a high quality education following
a North American model and promoting professional and
personal connections between educators.
Currently, NESA includes 40 Regular Members
(American/overseas schools), 62 Associate Members (international
schools; colleges and universities; special institutions),
and 34 Supporting Members (textbook publishers, consultants,
school suppliers and other businesses). NESA encompasses
over 24,000 students and over 6,400 professional educators.
