Year 1

Nicola Sargeant

I was born in Birmingham but spent most of my childhood in York where I went to university and gained my teaching qualification. I returned to Birmingham for my first teaching job and then moved and taught in North Carolina, at the British School in Washington D.C., and finally Dubai before coming here to Chicago! I love to travel, and this year being in Chicago has given me so many opportunities to explore places I've never yet made it to as well as a whole new city with so many different neighborhoods and areas I still haven't made it to yet!

I am originally from Cardiff in South Wales. I have spent the last 4 years teaching Year 1 in a British International School in Dubai, UAE. This experience has been highly rewarding, and I am looking forward to the next exciting challenge. I am really excited to be joining British International School of Chicago, Lincoln Park. The school shares my passion and enthusiasm for teaching, and I cannot wait to join the team. The school has fantastic facilities and offers an extra curricular program to help develop children's interests, something I am highly committed to developing further. Outside of school, I enjoy keeping fit, playing rugby, and exploring new and interesting places. I cannot wait to explore the city of Chicago and meet my new class, parents and colleagues.

I am originally from Aberdeenshire in Scotland and have been working for BISC Lincoln Park for 3 years now. I am looking forward to continuing to build many positive memories and experiences with the children and staff in Year 1 this next academic year. I really enjoy living in Chicago, from seeing the city landmarks and museums as well as enjoying many of the fantastic restaurants here. I also love traveling, and I am making the most of seeing America with the Californian west coast and Yosemite National Park being some of the highlights so far.

I am from Chicago, IL. One thing I love about Chicago is the ethnic diversity. It's amazing how many cultures are represented and loved by people of different backgrounds.

I believe there's no limit to what every student can achieve. The more you achieve, the more intelligent, humble, respectful and insightful you become.

I am a true Chicagoan , born and raised in the heart of the city. I have a BS in Psychology with a concentration in Children and Adolescents. I love learning new things, reading books, game nights with my family and friends, and traveling. Some of my goals/plans for the next few years are to become a 1st grade teacher and to own my own mentoring/education center.

I like working for Nord Anglia Education BISC-LP because I appreciate being exposed to new learning techniques and new opportunities.
