It's the start of a new academic year after a successful and busy summer holiday break for many of our students and teachers. Find out what to expect at Nord Anglia Education in the coming year.
I hope you have had a fantastic start to the new academic year.
While you have been away on summer holiday, many of our students and teachers have been keeping busy. In July, Nord Anglia Education students from around the world presented to the President of the UN General Assembly and high-level government representatives at the United Nations in New York City. A number of our teachers also had an opportunity to visit The Juilliard School, MIT and King’s College London for our unique professional development programmes. This is part of our ongoing commitment to invest in our teachers so that our students can continue to learn from the best.
I would like to recognize the achievements of all of our students last year supported wonderfully by our teachers and other support staff in achieving the best ever academic results and also getting our students into top universities all around the world.
I would like to wish you all the best for this term.
When it comes to finding the right school, there are countless data sources to explore. You can pore over the school’s test scores and university destinations, websites, and social media in search of signs that this could be the place.
But some soul-searching is also needed into your own aspirations. What is it, precisely, that you want for your child, beyond vague aims of them being “happy and successful”? It’s a daunting question, and requires reflection around your ideas about learning, community and perhaps even the nature of a meaningful life.
At Nord Anglia Education schools, we encourage our students not only to learn foreign languages but to think, feel, and experience the world through them. Many of our schools around the world, from the United States to Switzerland and from Vietnam to China, offer a world-class bilingual education.
Bilingualism—the ability to communicate fluently in two languages—helps children learn and grow. At our schools, we understand being bilingual helps students truly excel because it boosts their thinking skills, improves decision-making, and enhances communication. Plus, it helps them appreciate other cultures on a deeper level.
Read on for a closer look at all the benefits of bilingualism.
