Nord Anglia Education is leading this initiative by offering students opportunities to engage with professional musicians and peers in the music industry.

We also make sure each student has the best possible personalised guidance and support.

The sense of wonder we seek to spark in the Early Years is driven by our play-based learning approach. But what is play-based learning?

Classroom design is a crucial element in the educational experience, impacting student engagement, comfort, and learning outcomes. Traditionally, educators and architects have been the primary decision-makers in designing these spaces. However, at LIS, our perspective emphasises the importance of incorporating student voice in the design process. This approach not only aligns with contemporary educational philosophies but also fosters environments that are more attuned to the needs and preferences of the learners themselves.
