Nord Anglia Education, commonly referred to as Nord Anglia, is a provider of international schools.^[1] Nord Anglia Education operates 61 schools globally for children between the ages of 2 and 18, with more than 61,000 students across 28 countries. Roughly 64% of students come from expat families while 36% are children of local families.

Nord Anglia schools educate children at preschool, primary, and secondary level (also referred to in the US as preschool, elementary, middle and high school). Most schools within the organization follow a curriculum based on the National Curriculum of England Schools offering IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate.{{cn|date=June 2018}} In some locations, A-levels, the French Baccalaureate and the Swiss Maturité are also offered.{{cn|date=June 2018}}

It moved its head office from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong in 2012. The organisation has more than 12,500 teachers and support staff globally as of February 2019.

In 2015, a collaboration with The Juilliard School was initiated to enrich performing arts education for nursery to year 13 students in its schools. One year after, it announced a new approach to teaching the interdisciplinary subjects of STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) in collaboration with MIT. The collaboration was piloted in 13 schools for the 2016/17 academic year and will be expanded to all schools in the 2017/18 academic year.^[2]

History

Nord Anglia Education was founded in 1972 by Kevin McNeany^[3] to teach English as a foreign language. The company grew in the 1970s to the 1980s before moving into the UK education market. Soon after, it entered the Eastern and Central Europe market. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the group also built up a substantial day care and nursery business in addition to its Learning Services arm.^[4]

In 2003, Andrew Fitzmaurice became CEO. By 2008, the company had sold its nursery business and was mainly focused on premium international schools.^[5]

In 2012, the group relocated to Hong Kong to complement growth plans in China and Southeast Asia. In 2013, it bought World Class Learning Group,^[6] with schools in the US, Qatar and Spain.^[7]

The company's initial public offering took place on March 26, 2014 on the NYSE.

In 2015, the company bought six schools from Meritas:^[8] the Collège du Léman, Léman International School - Chengdu, San Roberto International School, The Village School, North Broward Preparatory School in Florida, and Windermere Preparatory School in Florida.^[9]

In February 2016, the company announced that it would develop a new international school in Abu Dhabi with a capacity for 2,250 students. The campus will be located close to the central business district and is expected to open in September 2017.^[10]

In April 2017, the company announced it would be taken back into private ownership after the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Baring Private Equity Asia agreed to buy it. ^[11][12]

In December 2017, the company bought seven schools from the British Schools Foundation: The British College of Brazil, The British International School of Kuala Lumpur, The British School of Nanjing, The British School of Tashkent, The British School of Yangon, The International School of Moscow, and The King's School Manila.

In February 2019, the company acquired five schools under the Oakridge International brand in India. The five schools are located in Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam, Bengaluru and Mohali, and have a total of 7,000 students.

Global Campus

Nord Anglia students are connected through the Global Campus, a program which offers a wide range of activities undertaken in school, online or at destinations around the world.^[13]

Collaborations

The Juilliard School

Since February 2015 the company has collaborated with The Juilliard School in a performing arts project for students in grades K-12. The program includes an embedded curriculum along with continued support and engagement with Juilliard alumni and affiliated artists.^[14] It also includes professional development for teachers, a summer school and private lessons. The curriculum was rolled out in September 2015 and is expected to educate more than 20,000 students aged 3 to 18 by 2017.

The curriculum focuses on key works of music, dance and drama.

King's College London

In 2015, Nord Anglia partnered with King's College London to offer an Executive Master's in International Education. Courses are designed specifically to address challenges specific to international schools. The program is fully funded by the company and available only to its teachers. Nord Anglia and King's College London states that the program will open up to teachers outside Nord Anglia schools in 2020.^[15] Fifty teachers will start the program in 2016.^[16] The aim of the program is to recruit, develop and retain high quality teachers.^[17] The program is a two-year, part-time masters program which is designed to teach effective leadership skills and feature online face-to-face modules.^[18]

MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

In May 2016, the company announced a global collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on STEAM subjects for K-12 students. The collaboration will develop a new approach to implement science, technology, engineering, visual arts, and mathematics program across 42 Nord Anglia schools worldwide.{{cn|date=June 2018}} Core to the collaboration is the reflection of MIT's philosophy of 'Mens et Manus', 'mind and hand', which calls for a hands-on approach to problem solving. Students will learn directly from lecturers and students at MIT.STEAM discipline teachers at Nord Anglia will also benefit from unique professional development opportunities through annual workshops and ongoing training with MIT staff, hosted by the MIT Museum^[19]
