Top-tier, highly targeted school for the academically gifted polymath offering an all-through British IGCSE-International Baccalaureate Diploma education.
Stand-out features include its Juilliard Performing Arts programme and outstanding focus on soft skills so critical to whole child development. For us, however, it is the school’s ability to craft such an exceptionally warm, nurturing and happy environment for its students that really places Nord Anglia International School in the top tier of schools – something not easy in a school that could so easily fall the “wrong” way into a competitive hothouse with all the resulting stresses that an come so easily come with this. Instead its selection criteria are tightly and sensitively focused to ensure a perfect match of school to child.
Results at Nord Anglia schools are as you would expect top tier – and measured on a global scale. Bar our wish list that that the school would offer the International Bacccalaureate Career-related Programme (which as well as offering a technical stream element does not prejudice highly academic but non linguistically accomplished children) it’s hard to think of what could better a school so closely mapped to its target child. For the right child, it does not come better than this. It may be a young school, but Nord Anglia International School Dubai deserves its place in the top 5 schools in Dubai and Abu Dubai 2017.
