At Nord Anglia Education, we believe in developing well-rounded students who are equipped with the skills and mindset to succeed in all aspects of life. Our collaboration with IMG Academy—the world’s leading sports education institution—gives students the opportunity to build confidence, resilience, and leadership through high-performance athletic training and personal development programmes.

Sport is more than just physical activity; it teaches discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—skills that are essential for success in academics, careers, and life. Through this collaboration, students experience IMG Academy’s world-renowned approach to athletic and personal development, with access to expert coaching, wellbeing resources, and mindset training that help them thrive in competitive environments.

Students also have exclusive opportunities to take part in high-performance training at IMG Academy’s state-of-the-art campus in Florida during annual, weeklong events where they work with elite coaches in sports such as football (soccer), volleyball, basketball, and more. Additionally, IMG Academy+ Essentials, an online platform, provides all Nord Anglia students and parents with expert-led courses in mental resilience, nutrition, and peak performance strategies.

Our teachers and support colleagues also benefit from this collaboration, through professional development and training from IMG Academy’s world-class coaches. This ensures our educators stay at the forefront of sports education and can inspire students to reach their full potential.  With IMG Academy, we are helping students develop lifelong skills that prepare them for success—on the field, in the classroom, and beyond.

Creativity and thinking outside the box lead to great discoveries that impact our world in amazing ways. At Nord Anglia we aim to develop great thinkers and innovators, and our collaboration with MIT offers your child an introduction to interdisciplinary STEAM learning. We believe this provides a lifelong foundation for curiosity and real-world problem solving.

Although often taught separately, science, technology, engineering, arts and maths combined can become powerful tools. Your child will enjoy the challenge of being bamboozled, and the thrill of working together with fellow students to tackle the same problems MIT professors and researchers are working on today. For example, thousands of Nord Anglia students from around the world worked together to develop filtration devices to be used on Mars after being challenged by Dr Jeff Hoffman, former astronaut and Deputy Principal Investigator of the MOXIE mission onboard the Mars Perseverance Rover! Each year, our STEAM students show that natural curiosity, when inspired by great minds through our MIT collaboration, can produce mind-blowing results.

Our approach to STEAM learning also helps children explore multifaceted challenges through university-inspired learning and hands-on activities. We give our students the space to embrace collaboration and creativity, and to develop the skills they will need to thrive in our fast-changing world.

Nord Anglia teachers receive hands-on training at MIT from renowned and influential researchers and academics. These workshops are with leading engineers and scientists on fascinating subjects, from climate change to bioengineering, space exploration, and beyond.

We want children around the world to be empowered to make a difference, both in their local communities and globally. Our partnership with UNICEF helps us do this by developing challenges and learning materials based on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that allow them to think practically about how to effect real change. These materials are then made available to teachers and students all over the world, as well as at our schools.

These SDGs form the basis of our Social Impact Programme and our annual Global Challenge. This is a chance for our students to take on projects like recycling, making positive change in the local community – even learning how to turn plants into biofuel. We also use activities surrounding World Children’s Day to educate our students about their rights, how to protect them, and how to advocate for those who may not have a voice.

For students interested in the policy side of making a difference, UNICEF gives them the opportunity to meet and interact with UN and government leaders at the UN High-Level Political Platform (HLPF). Student ambassadors who attend can participate in seminars and workshops, as well as getting the unique chance to speak at the UN’s headquarters in New York.
