Founded in 1955, International Schools Services (ISS) was created as a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting the international and American schools that were proliferating at that time. These schools were developing as a result of the increasing cooperation amongst world nations during this period of pronounced globalization. ==Background== The company was the brainchild of Arthur Sweetser a prolific author, educator, and statesman, who was present in Paris in 1916 at the birth of the League of Nations. His wartime travels as a reporter and ensuing involvement with government officials led him to his activism in promoting global communication through education. In 1924, he joined forces with others of like minds to develop the International School of Geneva and in 1947 the United Nations International School in New York.〔 Sweetser hoped to pave the way for global understanding and communication, and, through these efforts, to open the door to world peace. His lofty goals took root in a practical not-for-profit company that would serve the needs of these international educational facilities.
