Successful schools are accredited for three years after completion of the approximately 12-month process which comprises multiple stages; starting from action planning, implementation of the approved plan, national and international collaboration and sharing, self-evaluation and finally, the compilation of evidence for submission to the British Council for assessment.
The Millennium Education started its ISA journey with British Council in the year 2018 where schools were given training by British Council Cluster wise in Punjab, Islamabad and KPK. The trainings were conducted on Core Skills and Connecting Classrooms Modules where Teachers and Principals were briefed about different strategies of Teaching and Learning.

It refines their social skills through group work, student presentations and develops their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. All these interactions prepare them to face everyday issues and problems with confidence, now and in the future.
