Global Alliance for Innovative Learning (GAIL)

The Global Alliance for Innovative Learning (GAIL) is a progressive confederation of eight schools that are geographically dispersed and practise educational principles and ideals.

Formed in 2013, all members of GAIL are forward-thinking, independent, co-educational schools who are geographically and culturally diverse, but united by a shared educational philosophy.

Member schools include Scotch College Adelaide, Woodstock School (India), Prestige College (South Africa), Robert Gordon’s College (Scotland), Kimball Union Academy (USA), Kristin School (New Zealand), Newton College (Peru) and the Western International School of Shanghai (China).

Each school is committed to developing informed, globally active learning communities that encourage contemporary solutions to international issues through collaboration, inquiry and service-learning initiatives.

Building Genuine Connections

At the heart of the program is a commitment to the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The Global Alliance is committed to building genuine connections based on authentic engagement, meaningful relationships, co-operation and trust. Implicit in this is the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

GAIL is an international framework that encourages student exchanges, staff research fellowships and the opportunity to collaborate through the undertaking of purposeful service-learning projects on a global scale.

The creation of intellectual property through interaction will permit all members of GAIL to enhance their own practice, while also providing a forum to inform and influence the practice of others.

It is when we rub shoulders and engage authentically with those from other countries, cultures and backgrounds that we truly learn and discover the common humanity that transcends our differences. From the Amazon to Adelaide, the GAIL program continues to offer life-changing experiences and fresh perspectives for students and teachers alike.
