When we talk about the city of Suzhou, its traditional gardens, Kun Opera and Suzhou-style dim sum always appear in our mind. Suzhou has been a paradise in people’s heart with a pleasant climate, and it is a dynamic city where blends traditional culture with modern charm.
We are glad to choose Suzhou to build our new school with great expectations for the future.
At Nord Anglia School Suzhou, students will study in an excellent, positive and supportive environment. Our dedicated teachers will help them grow personally, academically and socially, as well as prepare them for their future.

We have collaborations with some of the world’s best organizations, such as MIT and The Juilliard School, our teachers may have opportunities to be sent there for their professional development, and then they will update their skills and knowledge in order to adopt the latest methods in the class.
Nord Anglia School Suzhou will offer the best of eastern and western education, following the requirements of our nine-year compulsory education courses and local curriculum with other renowned international pedagogy and high-quality resources. We will create an immersive bilingual learning environment for children, where draws on the best of Chinese and Western learning styles to develop their global mindsets.

Our schools are designed for comfort and well-being, and feature modern facilities for study, sport and the arts. Our commitment is to create and maintain a safe, happy and child-centered environment.
Our classrooms comfortably will cater for our maximum classroom size of 26 students. Our Primary classrooms will be enhanced by specialist rooms for music, science and ICT. Each classroom will be equipped with an interactive whiteboard.
In the Secondary School, our well-appointed classrooms will be complemented by science laboratories, excellent music facilities, design technology workshops, computer labs, an art studio, a photography dark room and two drama studios.
Our High School students from Grades 10 – 12 will benefit from our independent learning space, in this case, it will help stimulate both individual study and group work.
The blackbox theatre, drama and dance studio will be equipped with advanced lighting and sound equipment, they will be the best places for students who want to rehearse dances, dramas and songs. In addition, there will be dedicated music rooms for both individual and group practice.

Boarding students will have opportunities to participate in activities related to culture, creativity and sports at weekends and in the evenings to expand their knowledge and enhance their skills.
“Education reflects our understanding of our learning and growth. The more profoundly we understand, the better we do, the more likely our students tap into their full potential and become much of a distinguished person.
The rapid development in information technology has raised new demands for the nurture of talents. To evaluate a student, we have to focus more on their subject knowledge attainment, characters, learning ability, intellect and creativity apart from traditional knowledge and skills.
I am a firm believer in the education philosophy of Nord Anglia, and excited about our global resources. It is important to realize this philosophy, make best use of the resources, support our teachers and parents, carry out the holistic education so as to meet educational needs of families and prepare our children for the success.
Our efforts today will shape children’s future, thus, education is a bond between our children and us.
"Educating your children is an honour and our responsibility to uphold. We care for them and offer them the same opportunities we would wish for our own children. We are not just a school but a community where your son or daughter has the chance to develop and explore their many different facets in a supportive and caring atmosphere. By wanting the very best for your son or daughter we strive for academic achievements to their fullest potential, offer them activities and opportunities that will expand their horizons and support them emotionally as they develop into young adults through an effective and caring pastoral support system.
The main benefit for Chinese students in receiving bilingual education is that during those precious years of childhood, children can remain within their families but still have an understanding and familiarity of western education without the need to be separated across the world from their loved ones. They will become fluent English speakers but more importantly, will be happy and confident independent learners.
With the support of being in the world’s largest education group, we have a background and expertise that we can rely on and the experience to make sure that not only the facilities and academics are of a high standard but the world class opportunities that only students at a Nord Anglia school can enjoy are available to students at NAS Suzhou. High calibre students and teachers are drawn to Nord Anglia schools, but it is our ability to make sure that every student reaches their potential and that every teacher is fully supported and trained that is the key to our success."
