“Well presented portfolio of evidences with clear, well defined and relevant collaborations and international dimension reflected in every project. The efforts of the students and teachers and their involvement and commitment to ISA is clearly visible. The Bird's eye view - the teacher reflections were well drafted and provided the assessors with a clear understanding of the objective, the learning journey and the learning outcomes of the students through the projects. Research and analysis of International Manufacturing and Distribution is worth a special mention, Geometry project was really interesting with in depth connectivity with various theorems.It was welcoming to see the Home Minister of Bhutan interacting with the students.The project on SAARC Nations reflected true learning beyond classrooms with the essence of international brotherhood and global citizenship transcending boundaries..”
