In 2010, the initial partnership between high schools, their teachers, students and administrators in Finland and Alberta began. The original question of “What makes a great school for all?” continues today in the minds, hearts and cultures of participants – even for those of us whom have changed schools or entered into the partnership in the second phase. And pushing the TS Eliot quote above even further, this remains a question of ‘…how far [two or more] can go”.  Since 2016, a new cohort of Finnish and Alberta high schools have extended this partnership.  Come and hear from both Finnish and Canadian principal colleagues about the richness of an international partnership and its effects on our leadership and our schools.
