HOW WE TEACH

Image_NAISM_Manila_2023_045

Nord Anglia International School Manila is home to extraordinary teachers. They provide an outstanding holistic education that will nurture your child’s growth, inspire academic success, and equip them with the skills they need for the future.

TEACHING THAT empowers young minds

At Nord Anglia International School Manila, our exceptional educators think beyond traditional teaching to provide the nourishing care, inspiration, and remarkable learning experiences our students need to flourish.

 

Our teachers bring a wealth of qualifications and experience to the classroom. They’re also experts at personalising learning to different needs, strengths, and interests. In small class sizes, your child will receive the attention – and the ideal blend of challenge and support – they need to shine.

 

Our international school teachers are committed to building a strong relationship with you - our families - too. Our parents are the heartbeat of our community, and we’re incredibly proud that 97% agree their child is taught by an outstanding teacher.

TECHNOLOGY THAT TRANSFORMS LEARNING

Our tech-savvy teachers embrace innovation in and outside the classroom, finding new ways to convey ideas and ignite our students’ imaginations.

 

In lessons, learning is brought to life using interactive whiteboards, MacBooks, and the latest educational software. Our high-tech science labs will inspire your child to imagine a world of infinite possibilities, too, as they take on STEAM challenges that develop their curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking skills.

 

And on our Global Campus learning platform, students connect with classmates in 32 countries, collaborate on one-of-a-kind projects – from virtually climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, to maths challenges – and immerse themselves in specially curated content from MIT, The Juilliard School, and UNICEF.

COMMITTED TO GROWTH

Much like our students, our international teachers never stop learning. An array of outstanding opportunities support their personal and professional growth, including exclusive training unique to Nord Anglia schools. This ensures they're continuously developing new strategies and expanding their thinking.
  • On the award-winning Nord Anglia University platform, our teachers share ideas with colleagues across the world and work towards hundreds of courses each year – including several globally recognised leadership qualifications.
  • Our STEAM and performing arts specialists benefit hugely from our collaborations with MIT and The Juilliard School, which provide access to cutting-edge techniques, and university-standard resources and support.
  • Our teachers can also study for an Executive Master’s in International Education through King’s College London.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

SETTING THE STANDARD

To guarantee the highest standards, we actively recruit the world’s best UK-qualified (or equivalent) educators. All our teachers have extensive experience in international schools. More than half have Nord Anglia Education leadership qualifications, too.

Our teachers stay with us for an average of six years, which ensures every student receives a continuity of education and feels part of stable learning community. We also regularly assess our staff against local and national benchmarks, as well as Nord Anglia’s stringent Quality Assurance Framework.

Rigorous background screening, a strong safeguarding policy, and criminal record checks ensure our students are safe and happy at school.
