Our Schools 

Nord Anglia Education is the world’s premium international schools organization.  Our 81 international schools are located in China, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Americas.  Together, they educate more than 80,000 students from kindergarten through to the end of secondary education.  We are driven by one unifying philosophy: we are ambitious for our students, our people and our family of schools.  

Each Nord Anglia Education school is unique in character and tailored to meet the needs of their specific location.  However, our schools are also united by the quality education they offer, the excellence of the student experience and the dedicated staff and management in our schools. 

Most of the Nord Anglia schools benefit from our performing arts collaboration with The Juilliard School as well as our Global Campus, which offers unique global experiences for students at every age.  Many of our schools will also benefit from our new approach to teaching STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) through our collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Our goal as the leading international schools organization is to provide an education so that students can succeed academically, socially and personally.

Our students come from a wide mix of backgrounds and cultures and a typical school may have up to 60 different nationalities. A Nord Anglia Education student benefits not only from the richness and expertise within their own school environment, but also from other schools across the Nord Anglia Education family through our Global Campus.  Similarly, our teachers can interact with fellow teachers around the world through Nord Anglia University, our bespoke online platform designed by teachers to provide unrivalled professional development opportunities.

Our schools are amongst the most respected premium schools in their markets and are a very popular choice for parents.
