To deliver high quality teaching, we know our teachers have to receive high quality training - not just at the beginning of their careers, but throughout it. For developing best practice, knowledge building and collaborating with colleagues around the world, our teachers have access to their unique professional development hub - Nord Anglia University (NAU). Created and designed by teachers - NAU is packed full of educational resources and courses made exclusively for our 13,000 teachers around the world. We are constantly evolving this platform and this year we’re pleased to launch Nord Anglia University 2.0 worldwide.

Nord Anglia Global Campus takes education beyond the classroom. Bringing together our 69 schools around the world, it is a fundamental part of how we teach our students to be truly global citizens. The highly personalised learning platform provides a safe space for students to connect and collaborate with each other, and offers a huge variety of engaging extra-curricular activities. It is an essential part of how BIS Hanoi students explore independent learning.

We feel proud of our students every day at BIS Hanoi; they continue to impress and inspire with their perseverance, respect and drive to succeed. Our teachers ensure that all students are making optimum progress through their delivery of a personalised approach to learning. Academic rigour underpins our approach to teaching and learning but we also deliver a holistic well-rounded education that focuses on developing each individual student emotionally and that develops them as true global citizens.
