In a world full of AI answers, will your child learn how to think?

The start of a school year is usually a hopeful time. New teachers, new routines, new friends. But for some children, those first weeks don’t feel exciting at all. They come home quiet, anxious, or simply say, “I don’t like school.”

We know that children learn best when they feel safe, happy, and supported. We also understand the importance of providing state-of-the-art settings that inspire and challenge our learners.

Our students have big ambitions. And whether it’s earning a place at Oxford, embarking on a career in chemical engineering, or pursuing a passion for the visual arts, our role, at NAIS Dublin, is to help them get exactly where they want to go.

At Nord Anglia Education schools, we encourage our students not only to learn foreign languages but to think, feel, and experience the world through them. Many of our schools around the world, from the United States to Switzerland and from Vietnam to China, offer a world-class bilingual education. Bilingualism—the ability to communicate fluently in two languages—helps children learn and grow. At our schools, we understand being bilingual helps students truly excel because it boosts their thinking skills, improves decision-making, and enhances communication. Plus, it helps them appreciate other cultures on a deeper level. Read on for a closer look at all the benefits of bilingualism.

Rose Winter, Head of Early Years Learning and a nursery school teacher (ages 2.5 - 4) at the British International School Bratislava, is often asked by parents “what did my child learn today?” Her reaction? “Where do I start?” When they arrive in the morning and say goodbye to their caregivers, they are learning to manage their emotions (emotional regulation).

Stress is an inevitable – and perfectly natural – part of a student’s learning journey. Alongside life-changing experiences, fun, and good times, every one of our talented, hard-working young people will also, at some point, feel under pressure.   Whether it’s balancing IB Diploma coursework with co-curricular activities, coping with the demands of exams, or managing their own or others’ expectations, student life can be stressful. We recognise these challenges at NAIS Dublin and are committed to helping our community manage student stress.

Motivation matters. We know that driven students are much more likely to fulfil their potential. They’re also happier, more confident, and engaged in every aspect of their education.   So, what is it that motivates a child to learn? And how do our outstanding teachers inspire each student to be their best, every day?   In this article, we discuss the importance of motivation in education, and how we bring out the best in each learner. We also share some of our motivation tips for students.

Congratulations to our outstanding Class of 2024 for their remarkable dedication and achievements.

Our students achieve more than they may have thought possible. We believe there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically. This year, our students’ academic results reflect our shared commitment to excellence in this area.
