Our social purpose

Our school has a long history of taking part in, and leading, local and global Model United Nations. 

Our Social Impact Programme with UNICEF challenges students to think about what they can do to make a difference – locally and globally – to support the UN Sustainable Development 2030 agenda. Every year, we set a Global Challenge and invite Nord Anglia students to come together and join seminars, workshops and speaking opportunities at the High-level Political Forum at the UN Headquarters in New York. The goal for our students is simple: use these life-changing opportunities to influence world leaders and make the world a better place.

We also partner with the Wanliao Migrant School and invite students to learn English through practicing sports, arts and a variety of activities, and welcome them to be part of the wider NAIS Community.
