The curricula that carried the day

The 2018/19 academic school year is now underway in Nord Anglia Education (NAE) schools around the world, but there is still plenty of cause to celebrate the incredible academic results achieved in the 2017/18 school year. We are proud of the marked improvement recorded across several of our offered curricula, with some definite standouts. Here are some of the many highlights from the past year’s great academic results.

50 per cent of NAE students score A*, A grades in the I/GCSEs

An astounding 50 per cent of our students attained grades A*, A (or equivalent) in the I/GCSEs, two and half times the 2018 UK average of 20.5 per cent

Gaining multiple skills and perspectives through the performing arts

Incorporating drama, the last part of our performing arts programme is more than just learning how to act. Acknowledging each subject’s qualities while engaging in all three curricula in a holistic way can help students build skills that are transferrable, which means they can be used across their subjects at school and later on in life, says Rachel Whitehunt, Director of Performing Arts at the British International School of Washington.

2018 Parent Survey shows strengths across the board

Each year, Nord Anglia Education conducts a Parent Satisfaction Survey to help us improve our understanding of how we are performing. By benchmarking key areas, our survey tells us what our schools are doing well and where we can improve in the future. This helps Nord Anglia Education schools continue to provide the best possible educational experience for our 50,000 plus students. This year’s survey included responses and comments from almost 14,000 parents in 22 different languages. We are proud of these results, as they represent the collective hard work and dedication of everyone at our schools. To give you a sense of how we’re performing, read on for a few key highlights.
