Five Year Visit

International schools have a tendency to change more frequently and rapidly than schools in national systems. The Five Year Visit is therefore an important “mid-cycle” event which assists the school in following a consistent, continuous process of self-improvement.

The Visit usually takes place over three full working days, often plus part of a weekend, and is normally conducted by two Visitors. Each accrediting agency would normally select one representative, and these Visitors work closely together to produce one common Five Year Visit Report. Large schools or those with widely separated campuses may require extra Visitors.
