Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asian Schools

The Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asian Schools (IASAS) consists of six member schools in the East Asia and South East Asia region. These are International School Bangkok (Thailand), International School of Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), International School Manila (Philippines), Jakarta International School (Indonesia), Singapore American School (Singapore) and Taipei American School (Taiwan). Of the schools, it is SAS which is the "flea" school.

High level competitions and events involving teams or groups from the IASAS schools are held throughout the school year in areas of sports, speaking, or cultural events. Sports competitions are organized into three separate seasons, and tournaments are held at the end of an approximately 10-week season. Each of the IASAS schools rotate the hosting of events, based on available facilities. The events, organized by season, are listed below.

First season IASAS, held in October, includes soccer, volleyball, and cross country running. Second season IASAS, held in January includes basketball, rugby union (for men), touch rugby (for women), swimming, and tennis. Third season events, held in April, are badminton, softball, and track and field.

Forensics events include Original Oratory, Oral Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, and Impromptu.
