Studying abroad is a dream for many students and their parents. Many of the world’s top universities are based abroad, and students will learn so much more than the program they enroll in. They will get to see the world, immerse themselves in a different culture, and expand their network, career opportunities, and their sense of self.
Studying abroad may sound like a challenging task, but a school in the Philippines is making it easier for students: the Nord Anglia International School Manila has a 100% pass rate at A-Levels.
A-Levels, or Advanced Level qualifications, are subject-based and are studied in Years 12 and 13. Students typically study four subjects in Year 12, before taking three in Year 13, where these are studied in greater depth.
World-renowned universities hold the A-Level program in high regard, and the grades here play a role in admissions. So, taking A-Levels can help students study in the U.K., the U.S., Hong Kong, and their first-choice universities across the world.
British education in Manila

Nord Anglia International School Manila, or NAISM, is part of a global family with 88+ schools, 34+ countries, and 98,000+ students worldwide. The Philippine campus alone has students from 37 countries, promising a warm and inclusive environment that prepares students for university life abroad.
NAISM offers curricula for children’s early years (ages two to five), primary, and secondary education. Years 12 and 13 are focused on preparing students for the A-Levels and the Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC), which provides secondary school leaving qualifications and further education credentials in the U.K.

Doing well in the A-Levels and the BETC allows students to seize opportunities wherever they go in the world.
All classes use the British curriculum, so students can easily adjust should they move to the U.K. for further studies.
Global partnerships

What sets NAISM apart, even among international schools in the Philippines, is its global partnerships. NAISM collaborates with top institutions, such as The Juilliard School in New York and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge.
Juilliard, regarded as one of the world’s top performing arts schools, collaborates with NAISM to enhance its curricula so that students can engage with music, dance, and drama on a deeper level.
Juilliard artists visit NAISM as part of the partnership, and students can join performing arts events during the summer.

The partnership with MIT is just as special. MIT is the top university in the world, ranking #1 for 14 straight years at the QS World University Rankings. Students can learn STEM subjects from MIT researchers, scientists, and experts.
NAISM also challenges students outside the classroom. The school partnered with UNICEF for activities and challenges that will help students research, develop, and debate issues facing society on the world stage.

NAISM also has a new partnership with IMG Academy, the global leader in sports education, for elite training, wellness programs, and transformative leadership development opportunities. Students can train at IMG Academy’s state-of-the-art campus, and its top coaches and trainers will visit to deliver in-person training, mentorship, and tailored development sessions.
Additionally, students are part of the Global Campus Platform, a virtual learning environment that connects them with fellow learners worldwide.
They can learn from invited experts, take part in various challenges and competitions, or collaborate with peers for regional festivals, sports events, or global expeditions. Students will be future-ready global citizens, and will already have friends when they move anywhere in the world.

Of course, extracurricular activities are part of the learning experience. NAISM students must complete two enrichment programs: a physical activity that includes table tennis, football, basketball, chess, LEGO robotics club, dance, or swimming, and a creative or intellectually challenging pursuit.

They may also choose from residential excursions, day trips, sports, performing arts, community services, and a range of other activities in the Philippines, across Asia, and around the world.
So if you want to turn your dreams of studying abroad into a reality, there’s a school in the Philippines ready to help.
