Executive Summary

NAIS and GEBG Schools Global Engagement Report, 2022-23 School-Year DataIn order to better understand how schools are engaging students with the world, the Global Education Benchmark Group (GEBG) and the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) partnered to look at wider trends in the field of global education. The data was reported in a survey designed by GEBG and NAIS and administered between November 2023 and January 2024. The data highlights the multitude of ways schools are connecting with the world—through curriculum, learning experiences, partnerships, and more.

In the NAIS-GEBG Global Engagement Survey which captured data from the 2022-2023 school year, 494 schools participated, 43% of schools are members of both NAIS and GEBG, 51% of which are NAIS member only, and 5% GEBG members only. While the majority of participating schools are in North America (nearly 90% from Canada and the United States), more than 30 countries are represented in the data. Day schools represent 78% of participating schools while single gender schools represent 15%.

Data referenced throughout the report comes from three divisions; 306 high schools (grades 9-12), 241 middle schools (grades 6-8), and 164 primary schools (Pre-K-5). Response sizes are given when possible.

Schools had the option to skip individual questions throughout the survey affecting response sizes and potentially altering statistical significance.
