Global Student Advisory Board
Students’ voices belongs at the table
At Ariston Education, we believe students shouldn't just experience their education, they should help shape it.
The Global Student Advisory Board brings together up to eight Grade 11 students (or its equivalent in their respective curricula) from our schools around the world to share their ideas, questions and honest, constructive views with our leaders, including our CEO, on what matters most in their education.
Because the best education is built with the people who live it every day.
Why it matters?
The best insight into what students need doesn't come from a boardroom. It comes from students themselves. When young people help shape their education, it becomes more relevant, more inclusive and better prepared for the future they will live in. That's why we believe students should be genuine contributors to shape their education.
Did you know?
Students who feel listened to, and who know their opinions matter, are more engaged in their learning, more confident and better at managing their own progress, leading to more active learning and higher performance¹.

How will students be selected?
First, the student's school and Ariston Education's central team confirm that the application is complete and that the student meets the eligibility requirements. A panel then reviews all eligible applications and shortlists candidates. The final stage of the selection process involves the non-student members of the Global Student Advisory Board, including Ariston Education's CEO, Chief Strategy Officer, and Director of Education.
