Music in the Global Campus

The Juilliard–Nord Anglia Performing Arts Programme is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of transforming education through the performing arts.

At NAIS Pudong, the performing arts are brought to life through our transformative partnership with the world famous Juilliard School in New York. Using the Juilliard Creative Classroom, our teachers inspire creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of the arts.

This year’s senior drama production was not just a show — it was an experience. As parents and guests arrived at NAIS Pudong, they weren’t ushered into a theatre right away. Instead, they stepped into a 1920s speakeasy, complete with vintage jazz, decorations, and guests mingling in costume. It was the perfect prelude to what would become one of the most immersive performances we’ve ever staged.

This week, our school was thrilled to welcome specialist educators from the world-renowned Juilliard School for an inspiring series of dance and drama sessions with both our teachers and students!

The world is rapidly changing, and with it, the skills and competencies required for success in the 21st century are evolving. In this era of globalisation and technological advancement, education must adapt to prepare students for a future filled with challenges and opportunities. Collaboration between renowned institutions is a powerful means of enriching the educational experience and equipping students with the tools they need to excel. One such collaboration that holds immense promise is the partnership between The Juilliard School, a world-famous institution for the performing arts, and the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) family of schools, which includes NAIS Pudong.

Early this month marked a truly exceptional moment for the NAIS Pudong community as we had the privilege of hosting not one, but two distinguished specialists from The Juilliard School – Ms. Ashley Newman, a Juilliard Dance Curriculum Specialist, and Ms. Aurea Tomeski, a Drama Curriculum Specialist. The dynamic duo brought a wave of artistic energy, enriching our school with their expertise and passion for the performing arts.
