The right questions to ask when looking for a great school
When it comes to finding the right school, there are countless data sources to explore. You can pore over the school’s test scores and university destinations, websites, and social media in search of signs that this could be the place.  But some soul-searching is also needed into your own aspirations. What is it, precisely, that you want for your child, beyond vague aims of them being “happy and successful”? It’s a daunting question, and requires reflection around your ideas about learning, community and perhaps even the nature of a meaningful life.

The Lifelong Benefits of a Bilingual Education
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.

Why Early Years are the most important years in learning
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).

When School Doesn’t Feel Right: Helping Your Child Find Their Place
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.”

How to manage student stress: seven techniques
Stress is an inevitable – and perfectly natural – part of a student’s learning journey.

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.
