About the Organization

At the Varkey Foundation, we believe in a quality education for every child. That’s why, together with our partners, we work to build the status of teachers to ensure that the quality of teaching is enhanced, and outcomes will improve. Our vision is a quality education for every child – through boosting the status of teachers  and celebrating the profession.

About the Prize

The US $1 million Global Schools Prize seeks to recognise and celebrate exceptional schools from around the world – institutions that are re-imagining what’s possible in education.

Founded in 2025 by renowned UAE education pioneer and philanthropist Sunny Varkey, the Global Schools Prize joins the Global Teacher Prize and Global Student Prize, which he also founded, completing a powerful trilogy that celebrates educators, learners, and now schools as institutions of innovation and change.

Together, the three prizes will spark a 360-degree conversation about what it takes to deliver the best possible education, equipping children to face the future with confidence – while rethinking the future of learning for generations to come.

Benefits:

The Global Schools Prize will identify ten outstanding category winners from a longlist, who will each be awarded $50,000. Of those, one extraordinary school will receive the Global Schools Prize and $500,000 to scale its impact.

Eligibility

• The Global Schools Prize is open to all government-run and privately funded schools that teach students up to the age of 18, in every country in the world, subject to local laws, and that are going above and beyond to deliver quality education.

Schools can apply to multiple categories. Entrants in each category would be judged against rigorous criteria.
