North Broward Preparatory School | Nord Anglia Education (2024)

In all areas of their learning, our students develop curiosity by experimenting with new ideas, responding to innovative questions, and creating meaningful outcomes by solving innovative problems.

Through transformational experiences and activities with world-leading organizations like The Juilliard School, UNICEF, and MIT, we put our students at the forefront of education at North Broward Prep, giving them the best guidance and tools to perform at their premium. Our collaboration with MIT, for example, involves several guided challenges designed by world-leading STEAM experts — putting “design thinking” at the heart of our approach and inspiring creativity and curiosity in our students.

In this way, the magic of learning happens beyond North Broward Prep. It could be during a wildlife adventure exploring oceanic and subtropical ecosystems in middle school or performing on the main stage of the International Thespian Festival. in high school. We connect a student’s interests with the exciting world of what’s happening beyond, motivating their unique paths.

Our students learn best when they're happy, and our teachers are at the heart of ensuring this is a reality. We’re proud that 96% of our parents say their child is happy at school, and 90% say their child has a strong connection with at least one faculty member.

Our teachers are passionate about their practices: they continually work at the cutting-edge of education with global best practices, as we effectively develop, mentor, and inspire teachers at all stages in their careers, so they can customize and implement the best curriculum for all students. This includes subject-specific training with the world-class collaborators of MIT and Juilliard and technology training as an Apple Distinguished School. Furthermore, using Nord Anglia University’s educational experts and resources, our teachers can support and mentor their colleagues, join online training, share new resources, and learn from each other.

In this way, we cultivate a culture of teacher collaboration and mentorship. Every year, our teachers are setting goals in alignment with our global academic strategic plan to ensure the absolute highest quality of instruction.

Our teachers customize their instruction, activities, projects, and lessons to each child’s strengths and opportunities for growth, delivering strategic plans for a student’s personal next step.

With this level of attentive care and planning, our students deliver the results that lead them to the best colleges and universities in the world — the 250 seniors in the class of 2022 received 86 acceptances to the top 50 US News & World Report ranked universities, including Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Chicago. We also have College Advisors on hand to help our students be considered for merit-based scholarships and present themselves as leaders and change agents. Thanks to our advisors’ guidance, our students have achieved a new record of over $24 million in scholarships.

Additionally, as part of our academic excellence, North Broward Prep's world-leading approach in the fine and performing arts sets our students up for successful creative careers. Students in the arts at Harvard, Columbia, New England Conservatory, Rhode Island School of Design, Emerson College, SCAD, NYU-TISH and other top colleges have all started their creative journey at North Broward Prep.

North Broward Prep has a strong bond with its alumni. We cultivate a professional network and organize events for alumni to give back, mentor, and share their insights, advice, or career development opportunities with current students. With over 200 members in this network, we have many effective resources for current students to gain knowledge in specific careers.

Our current students stay connected through our Student Government, which gives student representatives the agency to expose their ideas and share what they would like to do or see happen at North Broward Prep. Student leaders also help plan and organize fun annual, community-building events, like tailgating, competitions, and School Spirit Week, among others.

As part of the Nord Anglia international learning community, students also connect with peers across the globe and participate in large-scale challenges of Global Campus (Nord Anglia’s virtual platform), Nord Anglia Performing Arts Festival, and Global Games (Nord Anglia’s international sports competition). Participating in these exciting activities and events allow NBPS students to bond with peers and develop lasting international friendships.

Our campus is distinguished by its numerous outdoor experiential learning spaces, imaginative outdoor play spaces for Lower School students, and robust athletics facilities for Upper School students — as well as our spacious arts studios and state-of-the-art STEAM maker spaces.

A centerpiece of North Broward Prep’s learning environment is our Learning Commons, a research library and study space designed to support students’ curiosity and collaborative working. As a flexible learning environment, students can choose from shared space, individual quiet spaces, and small group study rooms. The library hosts over 20,000 books and over 100,000 eBooks across various platforms to enhance research and reading experiences.

Our residential facility — known as the International Village at NBPS — is also a prominent feature of our campus, as residential students have convenient access to school facilities and activities in a modern, nurturing living space. Their common areas include a kitchenette, vending machines, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and study areas. The International Village is equipped with security officers on site and a state-of-the-art security system.
