Current Phase: outreach in Southeast Asia and China

In 1998, The Overbrook-Nippon Network on Educational Technology  (ON-NET) was created in collaboration with The Nippon Foundation to serve eight countries in Southeast Asia.  The most recent international outreach program, the Overbrook China Initiative was started in 2003 and works with eleven partner schools and universities in China.

In addition to these current international outreach programs, Overbrook is very actively involved with the following organizations:
