TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM AND AT HOME

TEACHER-LED TECHNOLOGY

At PBIS, we bring teaching and learning to life through the latest education technology (EdTech).

Our teachers embrace innovation in and outside the classroom, finding new ways to convey ideas and spark our students’ imaginations. This includes our Global Campus learning platform, where your child will connect with other Nord Anglia students around the world, collaborate on one-of-a-kind global projects, and immerse themselves in specially curated content from our world-leading partners, MIT, UNICEF, and The Juilliard School.

We continually invest in new technology, too, ensuring our students have the best facilities and equipment. This includes media suites, an iMac room, 3D printers, and state-of-the-art robotics equipment.

training and development

helping our teachers grow

Our teachers deliver exceptional learning experiences every day. It’s only right that we offer outstanding opportunities for them to develop and grow, too.

We encourage our teachers to hone their skills through training programmes on the award-winning Nord Anglia University platform. Alongside colleagues from across the world, our teachers study for further qualifications and complete hundreds of courses each year. This ensures they’re at the forefront of global educational trends.

While all our teachers are highly qualified, our subject-specialist STEAM and performing arts teachers benefit hugely from training, resources and mentoring from leading experts at MIT and The Juilliard School.
