OUR COLLABORATIONS

We create life-changing experiences for our students through global collaborations with world-leading institutions and organisations.
Student in a Drama Lesson

The Juilliard School

Students in a Drama performance
Our students' confidence soars through our Juilliard experience.
Teacher leading a drama class
Through Juilliard, our students enjoy an enriched drama curriculum.
Students performing on a stage
Dance, drama, and music are key aspects of our collaboration with Juilliard, which gives our students the opportunity to express themselves on stage.
Teacher leading a music lesson
Our music curriculum is enhanced by a repertoire of great works hand-selected by Juilliard.

The Juilliard School in New York is internationally renowned for its performing arts programme.

Our unique collaboration gives students access to exceptional performing arts opportunities that are delivered by our outstanding teachers. The programme is designed for all our students – those with career aspirations both in and beyond the arts. Your child will benefit from the magic of dance, drama, and music, while those with existing passions will learn more thanks to our innovative approach to teaching.

Our collaboration offers unparalleled opportunities to learn new skills, too. From building our students’ confidence and unlocking self-expression, to an immersion in – and appreciation for – different cultures. We know how important the performing arts are to our students’ development, both personally and academically.

Our students also have the chance to take part in the Summer Performing Arts with Juilliard programme. Students gain an in-depth understanding of music, dance, and drama, and build lasting relationships with new friends who share their passions. One-of-a-kind programmes designed by Juilliard and taught by their teachers offer students an inspiring and fun-filled experience during term time and in the holidays.

Our teachers reap the benefits of being trained by the world’s best performing arts educators. Juilliard Curriculum Specialists encourage collaboration and professional development through regular communication and school visits.

Amazing things happen when you combine the natural curiosity of children with teaching inspired by MIT, one of the world’s most influential universities.
Students performing an experiment
Our in-school challenges encourage students to work together to find creative solutions to complex problems. 

Creativity and thinking ‘outside the box’ lead to discoveries that transform our world in amazing ways. Our collaboration with MIT introduces our students to interdisciplinary STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths) learning, which enables real-world problem solving, develops inquisitive innovators, and nurtures a lifelong love of experimentation and investigation.

Your child will enjoy the thrill of working with fellow students to tackle the same problems worked on by MIT professors and researchers. For example, thousands of Nord Anglia students from around the world developed filtration devices to be used on Mars after being challenged by Dr Jeff Hoffman, a former astronaut. Each year, our STEAM students show that natural curiosity, when inspired by great minds through our MIT collaboration, can produce mind-blowing results.

Our approach to STEAM sees our children explore challenges through university-inspired teaching and hands-on activities. We give our students the space to embrace collaboration and creativity, and to develop the skills they need to thrive in our rapidly changing world.

All our teachers receive expert training from renowned MIT researchers and academics. Workshops with leading engineers and scientists cover subjects ranging from climate change and bioengineering to space exploration.

UNICEF

Student speaking on stage at a Model UN event
Through our partnership with UNICEF, students research, develop and debate solutions to challenges facing society.

Our students take part in projects linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, or join the Model United Nations.
Students sitting in groups during Model UN event
Our students work together to come up with solutions that will make the world a better place.
Students in discussion during Model UN event
Our students care deeply about people, causes, and communities, and feel inspired to make a difference through unique initiatives.

We empower our children to make a difference, both in our local community and globally. Our collaboration with UNICEF helps us do this through challenges and learning materials based on the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which encourage them to think about how they can effect real change.

The SDGs form the basis of our Social Impact Programme and our annual Global Challenge. This is a chance for our students to tackle environmental projects and make a positive change in the local community – even learning how to turn plants into biofuel. We also use activities surrounding World Children’s Day to educate our students about their rights, how to protect them, and how to advocate for those who may not have a voice.

For students interested in international policymaking, our collaboration enables them to meet and interact with UN and government leaders at the UN High Level Political Forum. Student ambassadors take part in seminars and workshops, and debate, speak, and effect change at the UN’s headquarters in New York.
