SKILLS FOR LIFE

WELLBEING AND RESILIENCE

Fostering strength and purpose in our students is at the very heart of our curriculum because we know that confident and motivated students don’t just perform better – they’re happier and more resilient, too.

At Nord Anglia International School Dublin, wellbeing means doing good and feeling good. We give our entire community a sense of wellbeing – even our parents and staff! 

We also teach learnt wellbeing by embedding in our curriculum the six pillars of sustained wellbeing. We link this approach with resilience-building, empowering students with an understanding of wellbeing that is unique to NAIS Dublin, focusing on how students can live their best life possible.

Social Purpose

OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

At Nord Anglia International School Dublin, we believe that students with a global mindset have competitive advantages in an ever more interconnected world. That’s why we seek to inspire creative, confident citizens with a thirst for knowledge and a vision to effect real and positive change in society.

Through CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service), a mandatory core subject of the IB Diploma Programme, our students collaborate and engage with the community. This includes fundraising initiatives and community service, teaching them to respond genuinely to authentic need and helping them develop real-world skills.

Our students have the drive to make their mark on the world and we work hard to empower them to do so. Our global partnership with UNICEF opens their eyes to the world around them and encourages them to develop a genuine sense of purpose. Every year, our students support hundreds of local causes through activities with UNICEF and work toward the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
