IBSC
The International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the education and development of boys and supporting the professional growth of educators in boys’ schools. It is legally based in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, United States, with its international governance and operations extending across continents.
IBSC connects nearly 300 member schools from over 15–20 countries and five continents — including Australia, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, the United States, South Africa, Singapore, Peru, Spain, Japan, New Zealand, Uruguay, Zimbabwe, and India.
Among its global membership, a few Indian boys’ schools are part of this coalition, such as Mayo College and Welham Boys’ School, reflecting India’s representation in this worldwide network.
Through this global association, member schools like Daly College benefit from international collaboration, research, professional training, and shared best practices in boys’ education, further strengthening their teaching and leadership programs.
Daly College became a proud member of IBSC in February 2025. As part of this association, faculty members will benefit from year-round professional development opportunities offered by IBSC. In addition, teachers will attend the annual IBSC conference, where they participate in specialized sessions, workshops, and discussions led by global experts in boys’ education.
These continuous training opportunities will strengthen classroom practices, enhance pastoral care, and support innovative teaching methods. Through this engagement, Daly College aims to further enrich the academic and character development of its students.
