At NAISNY, we encourage an international mindset of looking at different perspectives and listening to others. It’s all about envisioning a global future where our students can use their intelligence, skills, and talents to create something incredible, taking every step to get there.

The Juilliard School

Performing arts are so much more than what is seen on stage. They encourage self-expression and self-awareness, as well the development of empathy, confidence and cultural exploration. Our collaboration with Juilliard, the world-renowned performing arts school, combined with our outstanding dance, drama, and music programmes, inspires our students’ creativity, team-work and resilience.

The Juilliard School is recognised around the world as a leader in the performing arts; our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts programme that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.

MIT
The MIT-Nord Anglia STEAM program helps our students develop their creativity and problem-solving skills by tackling interdisciplinary challenges facing the world today.

MIT
Our global programme inspires students to look beyond individual subjects and harness the benefits of an interdisciplinary, practical, hands-on approach to learning guided by the world’s leading STEAM institution. Our students are encouraged to solve problems creatively, to embrace curiosity and to learn from world-leading experts at MIT. It also gives our teachers the chance to learn and receive professional development from inspiring figures in the world of STEAM and pass on their passion for learning to our students.
UNICEF
Students are challenged to make a difference locally and globally by tackling the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UNICEF
We want to give both our students and our teachers the chance to make a meaningful, positive impact on the community around them. This includes embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in all aspects of teaching and learning across our schools, using materials developed by UNICEF.

THE CREATIVE ARTS
We offer a fresh set of rotating CCAs in the creative arts every term that extend artistic abilities beyond our performing arts class time with Juilliard, for example, and allow students to select which skills they’d like deepen, refine, or explore anew. Whether it’s music theory, art, sewing, crochet, or drama, there’s something creative for everyone.

KEEPING HEALTHY AND STAYING BALANCED

LOOKING AFTER OUR WELL-BEING

At NAISNY, we believe that emotional intelligence and strong relationships are vital to helping our students achieve their goals and thrive as young adults. Our youngest learners begin to build their emotional wellness when they practice ways to describe how they feel and how to resolve negative emotions. As our students mature, they get more advanced in PSHE (Personal Social Health Education) with their peers, where they discuss topics like positivity, mental and physical health, bullying, and financial literacy, among others. 

Throughout all activities, we guide our students with eight “NAISNY Habits”: communication, resilience, morality, adaptability, respect, inquiry, thoughtfulness, and cooperation. These habits help our students become balanced and deliberate in their actions, whether that’s as a classmate, teammate, family member, or global citizen.

PURPOSEFUL LEARNING

CARING THAT DRIVES ACTION

On Global Campus, Nord Anglia's online learning platform, all NAISNY students embark on our Social Impact Program, where they learn about the United Nations’ Social Development Goals (SDGs) and devise their own solutions to some of the world's biggest problems. They also act in response to the SDGs by participating in UNICEF's Global Challenge, where they take on community projects among people with specific needs, assist charities that provide relief to the vulnerable, or get involved in environmental projects, like recycling or turning plants into biofuel. 

Student Enterprise week at NAISNY is especially a stimulating time of the year when each year group is given a budget to design, create, and market their own original, sustainable product to raise funds for a charity of their choice. Each year group uses their social entrepreneurship skills, as they apply their talents and witness the positive impact they can have in a community.
