Adani School Endorses ISSO to Redefine Athletic Apex in India
The International Schools Sports Organisation (ISSO) and Adani International School have joined forces to enhance India's sports education framework, aiming to strengthen the country's international school sports movement. This partnership seeks to scale up sporting facilities, support athlete development, and align with ISSO’s mission of nurturing well-rounded student-athletes.
Founded in 2017, ISSO is India's only dedicated sports body for international curriculum schools. It works with multiple prestigious boards such as IB, Cambridge, Edexcel, and the US-based NSBA, covering 22 sports disciplines and conducting 300+ tournaments annually, impacting over 22,000 students.
Key aspects of the collaboration include Mrs. Namrata Adani, promoter of Adani International School, joining the ISSO Advisory Board to help shape the vision and long-term goals of the organisation. The collaboration also leverages Adani International School’s commitment to holistic education to support ISSO’s objective of empowering student-athletes through better sports infrastructure and training programs.
The partnership focuses on dreams beyond boundaries for international school students. It aims to promote broader participation of Indian international school students in national and global sports tournaments to elevate sporting excellence and youth empowerment through sports. The collaboration is set to accelerate the next phase of growth for ISSO, empowering a generation of international school students to excel in both academics and sports.
Adani International School, through this collaboration, will support ISSO in scaling sporting infrastructure, enhancing athlete training, and promoting participation in global events. The school's emphasis is on integrating academic excellence with physical education.
The Adani International School-ISSO collaboration brings a renewed focus on structured, transparent, and professionally managed competitions. Aakanksha Thapak, Director of ISSO, expressed delight at the collaboration with Adani Group, stating that the collaboration aims to create inclusive, future-ready institutions where students can pursue excellence both in the classroom and on the sports field.
This collaboration also aims to aid global university admissions through robust student-athlete profiling. ISSO's association with the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) and the International School Sport Federation (ISF) has enabled Indian students to compete at the highest levels, and this partnership is expected to further boost their chances.
