The curriculum is enhanced by collaborations with The Juilliard School and MIT, and learning is supported on Nord Anglia's Global Campus platform. In 2022, the IBDP results were best in the school's history, well above the global average.
Performing arts are integrated with an exclusive collaboration with The Juilliard School. The collaboration deepens dance, drama and music through specialist instructors and productions.
