Start a School


Ways to Start ISOM Schools:

ISOM schools can be operated at 3 levels:

 

United States: ISOM's main office supplies materials, but the church/organization runs the school.
Level 1 :
Through the use of a Traditional or a M2 school (administered by the Main Office). Online training through ISOM online is also available and falls into this category.
Level 2: Use of a M2 school in a foreign nation.
Level 3: Using an Outreach-sponsored M2 school.

 

UNITED STATES
In the United States, the ISOM does not function as an accredited training school. Rather it supplies curriculum materials for churches and other ministries to run their own training programs. When ISOM materials are utilized in a training capacity according to a prescribed manner, then the course material can be submitted to recognized schools and universities which may or may not accept the training for credit. Please contact our office for advice on how to use ISOM materials in the most advantageous way possible for your school or personal study. 

Pricing in the United States is the same as LEVEL 1

LEVEL 1 – Main Office
(US*, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand)

Churches and organizations are welcome to use the video material for multiple classes and locations, but they may not duplicate the video material. Duplication of course note material is strictly prohibited, except for Level 3 – Outreach.

LEVEL 2 – ISOM in Most Foreign Nations
(Brazil, Europe, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, etc.)

The ISOM is available in many languages and we encourage groups to set up training schools in foreign countries. (The M2 package is almost always the method of choice when doing this.)


Missions Multiplier (M2) Foreign School:
(Available for any number of students in a class, or for individuals)

The entire ISOM, including 160 hours of video instruction on Video CD and a VCD player, is sent to the church or individual. Depending on the region, notes may either be provided with student registrations or duplicated for use in one school. Video duplication is NOT allowed with the M2 program. ISOM Certificates and Diplomas are issued to registered, eligible students.

When setting up a foreign ISOM, please understand that each country has a standardized registration fee based on the local economy. The heart of the ISOM program is that training be made affordable to all people. Consistent fees in a country helps prevent confusion among different ISOM schools, and we ask people to respect local fees. The only exceptions to these fees are scholarships, which are set up and provided by individual schools or sponsoring groups.

Wherever an M2 is being sponsored, students are required to pay that country’s set registration fee. The portion of the registration fees that will be paid to the Main Office will depend upon the individual country and situation. For the poorest countries, the lowest fee allowed is $2 per student, per trimester.


Pricing:
Missions Multiplier without notes: $950
Missions Multiplier without VCD player: $875
Registration for any number of students: Depends on the country’s set fees.
Depending on the region, notes may either be provided with student registration fees or duplicated for use in one school.

Please contact the ISOM offices for a specific country’s pricing, availability and/or contact details.

In certain countries and languages, we will consider granting duplication rights to an organization or connecting people with a group that has these rights. Duplication helps widen distribution of the ISOM; however, strict guidelines and restrictions exist with this. Please consult the Partnership section of this brochure for more information on duplication rights.
