Individual Membership

Individual Membership is now available to elementary and secondary school educators and co-professionals currently employed in internationally accredited schools anywhere in the world who wish to attend an AISA Professional Learning event.

Individual membership is from 1 July to 30 June, cannot be pro-rated regardless of when in the year it is applied for, and cannot be carried forward beyond the academic school year during which it was granted.
