Celebrating creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, and complex analysis - that's what makes the TOK Exhibition such an important part of the IBDP programme - and yesterday our Grade 11 students had the opportunity to present their ideas at the exhibition. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is pivotal for supporting the development of critical thinking and global perspectives; by exploring real-world issues and applying TOK concepts, students gain insights crucial for academic success and beyond, and the TOK Exhibition then showcases their ability to delve into complex ideas, preparing them to thrive in our interconnected world. We believe that TOK empowers students as proactive learners and thoughtful contributors, enriching their educational journey and global awareness - and we always love seeing the array of individual ideas! #TOKExhibition #IBDP #CriticalThinking #GlobalPerspectives #StudentSuccess #IBSchool #BilingualSchool #BoardingSchool #NordAngliaSchool #NordAnglia

It's our one year anniversary! Today, we celebrate 365 days of being part of the Nord Anglia family of schools - and what an adventure it has been so far.. From Houston to MIT in Boston, Vietnam, Tanzania, and beyond, we've embraced a wealth of local and international opportunities for our students and staff. Being part of the Nord Anglia Global Campus initiative has empowered our community to collaborate globally, share ideas, and enhance our sense of global citizenship and changemaking. Our teaching and support teams have benefited greatly from personal development and training opportunities, connecting and collaborating with colleagues across the GCC region and beyond. As we continue to uncover the benefits of being part of this global group, we're excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities it will bring.

MIT Boston trip: A very exciting opportunity for our Science MIT Lead, Victoria Millett (Carr) recently, as she participated in the Nord Anglia MIT collaboration in Boston. Victoria had the privilege of visiting Neurology labs, exploring the MIT museum, engaging in interactive bacterial photography labs, and attending guest lectures from MIT Professor, Faez Ahmed, on machine learning and AI in humans, as well as insights from NASA astronaut Professor Jeffrey Hoffman. This experience provided a perfect platform for networking with fellow scientists across the NAE group, and for providing lots of innovative ideas for our students.

The Nord Anglia Family in action… taking action: An exceptional opportunity this week for two of our Secondary students who traveled to Houston to participate in the Nord Anglia UNICEF summit. Gathering with peers from around the world, they engaged in profound discussions on leveraging data for measuring Sustainable Development Goals, workshops focused on enhancing cross-cultural communication skills, and enjoyed a visit to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Houston. During the summit, students exchanged insights into the social, educational, and climate initiatives undertaken at their respective schools. The pinnacle of the event was the presentation of their capstone projects, where they proposed innovative solutions to challenges spanning humanitarian efforts, climate action, education, and health and wellbeing. We extend our thanks to the British International School of Houston and The Village School for their exceptional hospitality in hosting this inspirational event.
