The 5-decade old ISYA program is evaluated in the context of the experience gathered in the field: 41 schools organized in 27 countries with a total of more than 1400 students to date. In the new era of fast internet connectivity, social media, virtual networks, big data and machine learning, the value of face-to-face graduate schools for regions with limited up-to-date astrophysics research is presented, together with the plan to develop the ISYA program into the next decade.
