Introducing INSIGHTS—a refreshingly honest view on the future of education

Although the experience varies for each family, raising children today is more complex than it once was. Amid changing societal expectations, the ubiquity of social media, and increased academic competition, parents are searching for answers on how to most effectively help their children learn and grow in the modern world. 

Parents often find themselves asking, “Will my child be ready for whatever the future brings? Will there be opportunities for them to thrive?” INSIGHTS is a brand new magazine from Nord Anglia Education that tries to help families make sense of the questions they ask about their children. 

Join us to learn about INSIGHTS and how it can support you in aiding your children in growing up to be successful adults. 

What is INSIGHTS? 

INSIGHTS is a brand-new publication from Nord Anglia that looks at the things that matter most to young people and their parents when it comes to education. Can kids learn how to be happy? And if they can, will it make a difference? Do children need knowledge anymore, when everything’s a click or a swipe away? Does learning about ‘making a difference’ actually make any difference at all?

In the first issue, INSIGHTS’ articles offer a comprehensive look into hot-topic aspects of global education, tackling topics from emotional health in young people to the role of technology, artificial intelligence in learning, and what the future of education and well-being could look like from the perspective of world-leading experts, teachers, and students.

One of the first articles, titled In Pursuit of Happiness, delves into the essential role emotional well-being plays in the lives of young learners, and it sparked interest in our Head of School at Windermere Preparatory School, Dr. Mitchell Salerno.

“When I read the article, I immediately thought about our core values of Unitas, Veritas, and Virtus at Windermere Prep. Why? When I read the following quote in the article, the question raised resonated deeply: “The central question in moral education is ‘What kind of a person do you want to be?’…this topic is surely worthy of at least an hour a week in the school curriculum,” says Dr. Salerno. 

“What kind of person do you want to be?” This is a powerful and important question,” details Dr. Salerno. “At Windermere Prep, we strive to educate our students to be others-focused (Unitas), learn how to distinguish between right and wrong (Veritas), and to have integrity in everything they do (Virtus). We also want our young people to grow into happy adults.”
