Future Ready Schools
Safe online. Mentally strong. Never alone.
A project of the Digital Well-being & Mental Health Initiative, an ISAC Foundation centre. Our commitment for 2030: 250 Future Ready Partner Schools.
The need and who it serves
Children have never been more connected, or more alone. Scams, sextortion, deepfakes and cyberbullying now reach them on the phone in their pocket, usually from children they know, and most schools have no structured programme to prepare them.
- Who it serves
- School students, parents and teachers
- Where
- Worldwide, from the 2027-28 academic year
How it works
Future Ready Schools puts a Centre for Student Success and Well-being on a school's campus, so every child knows what to do online, and whom to go to when it goes wrong.
- Hold a place: in the 2027-28 cohort.
- A 30-minute call: with our programme director.
- Sign the agreement: and nominate two teachers.
- Your centre opens: four weeks later.
