A new year, a new openness to the world. Alba Manso, Head of MYP, starts the new academic year for whole H-FARM International School community

More than ever, this academic year begins with fresh energy and an even stronger openness to the world, through the many opportunities that Nord Anglia Education brings to our community. This is also one of the central themes of the opening address for the 2026-27 academic year by Alba Manso, Head of MYP. 

“Our key objective remains clear: to further strengthen the quality of learning and teaching across the MYP and throughout the school. Over the past weeks, our returning and new colleagues have been working hard to prepare engaging learning experiences, refine our practices, and ensure that every student is supported, challenged, and inspired to achieve their full potential.  

This year brings exciting opportunities for growth and innovation. Through newly introduced initiatives such as NAE Global Campus, students will benefit from even greater opportunities for collaboration, engagement, and learning with peers from around the world. These experiences will enrich their educational journey, broaden their perspectives, and further develop the global competencies that are at the heart of an international education.  

At the same time, the upcoming IB Evaluation and CIS Accreditation processes will provide valuable opportunities for reflection and growth. These important milestones will allow us to celebrate our strengths, review our current practices, and identify areas for further enhancement as we continue our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement”. 

As always, we strongly believe that the partnership between school and home is essential to student success, and we look forward to continuing this close collaboration and open dialogue that have always defined our community.
