A Global Gold Medal for our Students

The 2016 Global Games have come to a close, leaving its own legacy of good times, friendships and competition.

Last week, The Global Games North America took place at Windermere Preparatory School in Orlando, Florida. Nord Anglia students from across North America came together in the spirit of competition and friendship, and left with a lifetime of memories.

While the host school Windermere took home the overall title, approximately 80 students from BISC South Loop put forth great effort and took home 16 medals! In swimming, we won more medals than any other school. Scroll down for the details.

While the Games are centered around sport, to Nord Anglia they represent so much more. The unique event brings our “Be Ambitious” philosophy to life as students reach outside their comfort zones, participating and competing beyond what they’re normally accustomed to. And when students, faculty and staff come together as they did during the Games, the power of 11 schools within our North American region shine – imagine the global reach we feel with the full combined power of all 43!
