Nord Anglia Education, commonly referred to as Nord Anglia, is a provider of international schools. Nord Anglia Education operates 43 schools globally for children between the ages of 2 and 18, with over 37,000 students across 15 countries. Roughly 64% of students come from expat families while 36% are children of local families.
Nord Anglia schools educate children at preschool, primary, and secondary level (also referred to in the US as preschool, elementary, middle and high school). Most schools within the organization follow a curriculum based on the National Curriculum of England Schools offering IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate. In some locations, A-levels, the French Baccalaureate and the Swiss Maturité are also offered.
Originally headquartered in the UK, Nord Anglia Education moved its central operations to Hong Kong in 2012. It currently employs 8000 people around the world.
In 2015, Nord Anglia Education announced a collaboration with The Juilliard School to enrich performing arts education for nursery to year 13 students in its schools. One year after, Nord Anglia Education announced a new approach to teaching the interdisciplinary subjects of STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) in collaboration with MIT. The collaboration is being piloted in 13 schools for the 2016/17 academic year and will be expanded to all schools in the 2017/18 academic year.
Nord Anglia Education was founded in 1972 by Kevin McNeany to teach English as a foreign language. The company grew in the 1970s to the 1980s before moving into the UK education market. Soon after, it entered the Eastern and Central Europe market. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the group also built up a substantial day care and nursery business in addition to its Learning Services arm.
In 2003, Andrew Fitzmaurice joined Nord Anglia Education as CEO. By 2008, Nord Anglia Education sold its nursery business and was mainly focused on premium international schools.
In 2012, the group relocated to Hong Kong to complement growth plans in China and Southeast Asia. In 2013, Nord Anglia acquired World Class Learning Group (WCL) entering the North American market while strengthening its presence in Europe and the Middle East. Through the acquisition of WCL's nine schools, Nord Anglia gained a foothold in the US, Qatar and Spain markets.
