Your Space to Thrive. Your Space to Belong.

_{The new Sixth Form Centre at NAIS Manila, opening in the 2026-27 academic year.}

Something important is taking shape at Nord Anglia International School Manila. In the 2026-27 academic year, Secondary students will move into a purpose-built space designed entirely around them, reflecting their ambitions, supporting their independence, and giving them the environment they deserve.  

The school is expanding into the first floor of the building adjacent to its existing campus, to create a dedicated home for its older students. The development includes a library, a Sixth Form centre for Year 12 and 13 students, modern classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and a tiered seating area at the communal heart of the floor.  

“Creating the space for our students to grow, challenge themselves and realise their ambitions is at the heart of what we do. This new environment gives them even greater opportunities to do exactly that and represents an incredibly exciting next chapter for NAIS Manila.” 

Alison Fox, Principal, NAIS Manila 

A space designed for the way Secondary students learn 

The new floor has been designed to serve Secondary students at every stage of their journey, from Year 7 through to the end of sixth form. 

At its core is a library built for focused, independent study. The space is quiet and designed to match the academic ambition the school holds for its older students. Alongside it, a Sixth Form centre gives Year 12 and 13 students an environment that takes seriously where they are headed. These are students preparing for universities across the world, and their space reflects that. 

“It’s such an important spot for children to be able to collaborate and have a space that they can call their own. And I think it’s going to be a wonderful addition to the school.”  

Kimberly, Secondary parent 

“My favourite part of this new area in the school will be the library. It feels surreal to be inside such a big space where people can communicate. Seeing these new facilities and equipment is amazing, not just for me, but for a lot of other students as well, because this is a brand-new space.”

Modern classrooms and collaborative spaces complete the floor, built for the flexibility and independence that define learning at this stage. At the centre, a tiered seating area creates a communal gathering point for presentations, assemblies, trip briefings and the everyday moments of community that define life at NAIS Manila. 

A whole-school investment 

The expansion benefits every family at NAIS Manila. As Secondary students move into their new home, the spaces they leave behind in the existing building will be thoughtfully reimagined for younger learners, creating brighter, more age-appropriate environments across the school. 

Construction takes place entirely within the new building, meaning there will be no disruption to learning or daily school life on the existing campus. 

"Since the school is growing, it will give my children more space to collaborate, be creative, and communicate with other students, teachers, and staff across the school community."

Marv, Secondary parent 

Growing with purpose 

NAIS Manila is a school where results and relationships go hand in hand. The 2026 A Level results were impressive, 28% of grades achieved were A*–A, with 81% at A*–B, 97% at A*–C, and a 100% pass rate. Our A*–B results also compare strongly with the latest available Cambridge global data, placing our students above global outcomes across many principal A Level subjects.  

For IGCSE, our students achieved a 100% pass rate, with 31.5% of grades at A or A*, 53.2% of grades at A–B*, and 82% of grades at A–C*. Exceptional subject performances include Mandarin: 57% A–A* History: 70% A–A* PE: 50% A–A* and Computer Science: 43% A–A*. Every graduating student received an offer from their first-choice university.

The school was named in the Top 10 in the Philippines in the Edarabia Parents' Choice Awards, recognised for excellence in education based on independent parent reviews across more than 150 institutions.  

These outcomes grow from a community small enough that every child is genuinely known, and ambitious enough that every child is genuinely challenged. NAIS Manila has grown steadily, and this investment in dedicated Secondary spaces is the natural next step in that journey. 

"The sense of community, of belonging, and a real sense of nurturing every single child so that they know they belong here and are cared for: that is what NAIS Manila is. Everything about this expansion has been designed with that in mind." 

Alison Fox, Principal, NAIS Manila
