Innovative Schools

Print page

Microsoft's Innovative Schools programme is helping schools around the world to move beyond the limits of the classroom and traditional learning models. By contributing our most valuable resource- our people - we help make education more engaging, inspiring and relevant today.

The programme helps 12 schools by providing intellectual property, technology expertise, experiential knowledge and the support of our community. We work with them to inspire creative thinking and discover best practices to create models that any school, in any system, can use to prepare children for success in the 21st century.

One of the 12 schools is Bowring Community Sports College, who's vision is to equip students with the personal qualities, learning and thinking skills, knowledge and understanding needed to become lifelong, adaptive learners capable of making a positive contribution to the community. To learn more about Bowring and hear their leadership discuss their journey, go to the Participating Members section below.
