As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and societies worldwide, many parents are asking a crucial question: what will truly prepare our children for long-term success?
The answer goes beyond academic knowledge. It lies in the ability to think critically, learn independently, adapt to change and collaborate effectively.
Being part of the Nord Anglia Education global network means committing to an educational model that develops deep, transferable skills — equipping students not only for university, but for life.
International research validating our approach
A recent study conducted by Nord Anglia Education in partnership with Boston College — involving over 21,000 students across 15 countries — examined the impact of explicitly teaching thinking skills and metacognition.
The findings are compelling:
- 85% of students better understand their strengths
- 76% feel more independent in their learning
- 72% have greater awareness of how they learn
- 70% report stronger social skills
These outcomes demonstrate that when thinking is taught as a skill, students become more confident, capable and self-directed learners.
Metacognition: a long-term competitive advantage
Metacognition — the ability to reflect on one’s learning, select effective strategies and adapt them to new contexts — is increasingly recognised as a key future-ready competency.
It empowers students to:
- tackle complex problems with structure and confidence
- view challenges as opportunities for growth
- build resilience
- collaborate meaningfully
- make informed decisions
In a world where AI can generate answers, the real differentiator will be the ability to ask the right questions and apply knowledge thoughtfully and creatively.
The strength of a global educational ecosystem
Our connection to Nord Anglia provides a strategic advantage:
- access to world-leading educational research
- continuous professional development for teachers
- shared best practices across an international network
- evidence-based innovation in teaching and learning
For families, this means choosing a school that systematically invests in excellence and remains at the forefront of global education.
Building future-ready learners
From Early Years through to university preparation, our mission is clear: to develop learners who are reflective, independent and confident in shaping their own futures.
We want every student to say:
“I know how to learn. I know how to think. I am ready for what comes next.”
