Students at Nord Anglia Education schools on average achieve a 34 out of 45 points on the IB Diploma Programme and one in three students attend the world’s top 100 universities. More than 4,000 schools globally teach IB programmes and they are recognised for the way they challenge students to excel in their studies, and encourage both personal and academic achievement.

The campus will feature extensive facilities, including specialist arts and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and maths) facilities to support the delivery of Nord Anglia Education’s collaborations with The Juilliard School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), respectively.
Lord David Puttnam will act as Chairman of the School’s Advisory Board, together with other members, Barry O’Callaghan, Ruairi Quinn and Professor Brian MacCraith of Dublin City University.
