For one week, the students participated in the Nord Anglia Challenge, an experience reserved exclusively for Nord Anglia Education students aged 13 and above. At IMG Academy’s premier youth sports campus, the young athletes trained with expert coaches in a world-class sporting environment. Participants developed confidence and leadership skills as they sharpened their technique in basketball, football, volleyball and other sports. They also formed new international friendships while training and competing alongside Nord Anglia Education peers from around the world. The trip represents a significant milestone in the school’s commitment to offering students opportunities to learn beyond the classroom and pursue their passions in a high-performance setting.<\/p>\n

This experience enables participants to strengthen key skills such as leadership, motivation and resilience\u2014qualities that are crucial for future academic and career success, as well as in sport.
