During last Wednesday's MYP Core Session we welcomed Lord David Puttnam for an insightful talk on change, innovation and activism. Lord Puttnam's presentation gave students much to ponder over. He spoke passionately about the speed at which change is occurring in our society and the ways that we need to innovate to adapt to these changes. His wisdom and experience provided fascinating examples of these processes in action throughout his life. As an ambassador of UNICEF and passionate believer in the need to address climate change he also presented students with some difficult questions about what the future could hold for them and the importance of believing in themselves to be change makers.
As we look ahead to the 2025 academic year, we’re thrilled to share our ambitious plans to enhance our campus and enrich the learning experience for every student.
When it comes to finding the right school, there are countless data sources to explore. You can pore over the school’s test scores and university destinations, websites, and social media in search of signs that this could be the place.
But some soul-searching is also needed into your own aspirations. What is it, precisely, that you want for your child, beyond vague aims of them being “happy and successful”? It’s a daunting question, and requires reflection around your ideas about learning, community and perhaps even the nature of a meaningful life.
At Nord Anglia Education schools, we encourage our students not only to learn foreign languages but to think, feel, and experience the world through them. Many of our schools around the world, from the United States to Switzerland and from Vietnam to China, offer a world-class bilingual education.
Bilingualism—the ability to communicate fluently in two languages—helps children learn and grow. At our schools, we understand being bilingual helps students truly excel because it boosts their thinking skills, improves decision-making, and enhances communication. Plus, it helps them appreciate other cultures on a deeper level.
Read on for a closer look at all the benefits of bilingualism.
