K-12 COIL promotes and supports Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) in K-12 education.
K-12 COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) is an innovative educational approach that connects K-12 students and teachers across the globe through online collaboration, fostering cross-cultural understanding and enhancing digital literacy skills.This program enriches the traditional curriculum by integrating diverse perspectives and real-world problem-solving into the classroom.
Provide the closest international education experience for students; students do not need to worry about the high costs of study or travel abroad and associated risks.
Allow students to engage in collaborative learning with peers from different locations and exchange ideas, as well as share cultural experiences, all without leaving the classroom.
Create international collaborative learning opportunities for students to enhance their 21st-century skills, such as social and interpersonal competence, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
Establish a direct connection between the students to each other, allowing the students to obtain opportunities to develop friendships with other peers from different countries and partnerships for the future.

Real feedback from teachers, school administrators, parents, and students
That's so exciting to do something with teachers from different countries. Yeah. So, we're just really excited about the idea.
High School Teacher
I wish I could do the same project each year. It's as close as we can get without traveling there. And so that's nice!!!
High School Teacher
It's funny, I've never experienced anything like this. I could see students from other countries., and I could also take classes and play games with them.
High School Teacher
I support this project. One reason is that you don't need to pay anything, especially for students. Not every student gets the chance to go to another country with support from family.
High School Teacher
We were far away from them, but we could still see each other, and hear their speeches, and they would immediately respond to what we said. This feeling is very special!
