Preparing your child for the world stage

Research suggests that there are many benefits for students taking the performing arts.

As well as developing their cultural awareness, the performing arts can help students to make progress in learning new skills-such as collaboration, creativity and resilience. According to a report released by the World Economic Forum earlier this year, 21st century skills are needed more than ever. This report details the reasons behind our collaboration with The Juilliard School, including findings from research we carried out with our first 10 schools that received the Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts programme last year. Our research captures the initial impact that the programme has had on our students and teachers and indicates how it has not only enhanced our students’ music education but also a variety of skills that are vital to success in school and later in life.
