The NAIS vision foresees a future where independent school graduates will make good choices for themselves, their communities, and the world, capitalizing upon those values and skills that won’t change and acquiring those new skills and values a 21st Century marketplace and global commons will demand. We see NAIS’s role as leading and serving schools as the center of a network of ideas that propel good schools toward becoming great schools, characterized by demographic, environmental, global, programmatic, and financial sustainability.
Challenge 20/20 is an Internet-based program that pairs classes at any grade level (K-12) from schools in the U.S. with their counterpart classes in schools in other countries; together the teams (of two or three schools) tackle real global problems to find solutions that can be implemented at the local level and in their own communities. 

Schools do not have to be NAIS members to participate!  We accept private, public, charter schools from the US and any other country.  Schools can also be elementary or secondary.
