Our schools are united by one philosophy — we are ambitious for our students, our people and family of schools. This means that we want every student to achieve more than may have ever thought possible, which we ensure through personalised learning enhanced with unique global opportunities.

Opening in September 2018, our new international school in Dublin will be the first of its kind in the city and will educate 800 students aged 3 to 18 years old. Located in the highly regarded suburb of Leopardstown, our state of the art campus will feature extensive specialist STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) and performing arts facilities to provide outstanding learning experiences and teaching of 21st Century skills and support the exclusive delivery of Nord Anglia Education’s collaborations with The Juilliard School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Students and staff will also be part of Nord Anglia’s worldwide community, connected through our innovative Global Campus and Nord Anglia University initiatives.
