Our MIT Curriculum Overview
Our collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) brings a new approach to learning the STEAM subjects. Through in-school challenges and specialized training for our STEAM teachers, we put your child at the vanguard of developing skills for the 21st century.
By tackling real-world challenges across science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM), your child will develop transferable skills such as flexibility, creativity, and communication. They'll be encouraged to experiment rather than wait for instructions and will learn that collaboration and critical thinking can solve even the trickiest of problems.
Nord Anglia Education collaborates with MIT to provide innovative ways of learning STEAM subjects, encouraging your child's creativity and application of skills to real-world situations.
In-school Challenges
Science and technology are traditionally taught separately. Used together, they're tools for cracking some of the world’s greatest puzzles. Our in-school challenges encourage students to work together every term to find innovative solutions to complex problems. For example, thousands of Nord Anglia students around the world recently used their creativity and problem-solving skills to tackle space exploration issues that scientists and engineers are facing today. Students sought to improve the quality of life for astronauts on the International Space Station, designing a filtration system for Mission MOXIE to use on Mars, and solving the problem of space debris to make space exploration sustainable. Amazing things happen when you blend students' natural curiosity with the lessons of this world-leading research university.
STEAM Teacher Workshops
Our STEAM teachers participate in workshops at MIT that expose them to the forefront of STEAM research and thinking. Every summer, our teachers visit MIT for hands-on training from renowned researchers. They have discussions and workshops with leading engineers and scientists about topics like climate change, bioengineering, and space exploration, for example.
