‘Personalised learning’ is just one example of a term discussed frequently in schools but often with different ideas and meanings. In my 30+ years as an educator, I have found that some parents have different definitions of personalised learning, while others may not be very familiar with the concept or the concrete benefits it brings to students at school!
For some it means using adaptive technology that adjusts for students’ ability; for others, it means an individualised curriculum plan for each student in the classroom. Those aren’t necessarily incorrect, but they perhaps put too much focus on separating the student from their peers. They also don’t take into consideration all the ways in which students learn or are unique.
Our students at Nord Anglia International School Al Khor collaborated with Qatari calligrapher/artist, Fatima AlSharshani (@qaif.qa) and took part in the 'Zeeenah' initiative launched by The Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar.
It has been two years since the last opportunity for any students to go out of school on a trip, so it was a welcome surprise when we were informed that trips were now being allowed by the Ministry of Education. Last week, the following 16 students went out and successfully completed their Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award ‘Adventurous Journey’.
Being part of a global family of schools means our parents and students can benefit from a smooth transition between Nord Anglia schools. Read more from Ann, our parent and mother of 3 children at NAIS Hong Kong who previously were at BIS Hanoi and BIS Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Here we share the top five reasons for why an international education with us is a great decision.
