IBSC Ideas Lab

Professional Conversations for Boys' Educators

IBSC Ideas LabIBSC Ideas Lab invites members to connect virtually using the free online tool Zoom for three one-hour sessions to discuss topics focused on boys and boys’ schools.

Designed as an interactive exchange among colleagues, IBSC Ideas Lab engages dedicated educators who learn and grow together. Each session starts with a 10-minute introduction from a global guest to jumpstart a facilitated conversation on the topic. Together we surface fresh ideas and build mutual support structures and enduring professional friendships.

Available exclusively to IBSC member schools, first-time participants who can commit to joining all three sessions get preference in registration to support the success of each small group.

Register for an upcoming IBSC Ideas Lab.
