Global Research Initiatives

A major effort of the International Boys’ Schools Coalition is the commissioning, execution, and dissemination of formal academic research to serve as a catalyst for professional growth and school improvement. These research initiatives are global in scope and participation, and they represent all major regions in the IBSC membership.

These initiatives have been led by some of the most highly regarded professionals in the field of educating boys, individuals such as Richard Hawley, Michael Reichert, and Adam Cox. They have spearheaded major projects in research and scholarship which have yielded practical applications for program design as well as teaching.
