The school collaborates with MIT and The Juilliard School to integrate STEAM and performing arts across the curriculum.
The International School hosts students from more than 40 countries, creating a diverse cultural community. The Nord Anglia Education network connects the school to global opportunities and collaborations. Model United Nations and other international activities help students develop listening and persuasive communication and understand global issues.
There are more than 50 co curricular activities, including coding, knitting, Lego, ice hockey, polo, and tennis. Boarders enjoy evenings and weekends with activities ranging from theme parks to cultural trips into London and Bath. A wide range of clubs and hobby groups encourages interests beyond the classroom.
Students participate in community service and volunteering, including collecting supplies for a food bank and running a book drive for a children's charity. They take part in social responsibility projects via the Global Campus digital platform and undertake the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. These initiatives drive tangible change in local and international communities.
