Question: Have you ever lived in a completely international environment and why do you think you are able to cope with it?*
Answer:
Though I have never lived outside my country, I have spent my all school life in boarding schools since primary education to university. This helped me to interact with different people from different party of the country and different nations. I have been participating in different discussions, presentations, debates and group tasks from which I showed maximum cooperation as a team player.

It is pretty good. I think your answer is very reasonable.
The most problematic phrases I see are "my all school life" (all my school life) and "different party of the country"(different parts of the country). "maximum cooperation" sounds a little unnatural to me as well.
Here's one way of rephrasing the sentences just to give you an idea.
Although I have never lived abroad, I've spent my entire school years in boarding schools, starting from primary school to university. This gave me numerous opportunities to interact with students from various parts of the country as well as foreign nations. I have participated in a variety of discussions, presentations, debates and group tasks in which I've shown my full capacity as a team player.
