An Enhanced Curriculum

Through the Juilliard–Nord Anglia Performing Arts Program, students learn the history and movement behind influential dance pieces, while improving their own physical coordination and self-expression.

“The impact that the Juilliard–Nord Anglia Program has had so far on my students is fantastic. They opened their eyes and saw how fun dance can be and how you can express yourself through it.”
– Laura Towell, Physical Education, Sports Science, and Dance Specialist at British School of Chicago, South Loop
