Swiss International Scientific School to host inaugural Nord Anglia Middle East Games
Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai (SISD), part of Nord Anglia Education, one of the world’s leading international education organisations, will take centre stage in the region’s sports calendar by hosting the inaugural Nord Anglia Middle East Games on 1–3 May 2025.
This highly anticipated event will bring together nearly 200 students from Nord Anglia’s schools across the Middle East for an unforgettable weekend of competitive sports, including football, basketball, volleyball, and swimming. The Games will foster teamwork and camaraderie among students while showcasing the exceptional sporting talent nurtured across Nord Anglia schools.
As one of the premier international schools in the region, SISD will provide the perfect backdrop for this landmark event. The school’s world-class facilities, which include an Olympic-sized swimming pool and full-size football pitch, make it an ideal venue for high-calibre sporting competitions.
Rob Walls, Managing Director for Nord Anglia Middle East, said: “I am delighted that the Nord Anglia schools in the region will come together in May to host Nord Anglia’s inaugural Middle East Games. This event, modelled on the very successful Nord Anglia Games event held every year in the Americas, offers a fantastic opportunity for our schools to collaborate and for our students to showcase their sporting talents on a regional stage.
“While sporting tournaments are common in the Middle East, this marks one of the first times a school group has demonstrated its regional presence by hosting a group-wide event of this scale.”
This initiative not only highlights Nord Anglia Education’s enhanced focus on sport but also underscores the organisation’s dedication to offering a well-rounded educational experience that caters to students’ diverse talents and interests. By providing platforms for students to develop their athletic abilities alongside their academic achievements, Nord Anglia Education continues to lead the way in holistic education in the Middle East.
The Nord Anglia Middle East Games exemplify Nord Anglia’s ongoing commitment to offer students unique opportunities that prepare them for success in all areas of life. With students from more than 100 nations, Nord Anglia schools are not just educational institutions; they are a vibrant community where diversity, inclusivity, and excellence in both academics and extracurricular activities are celebrated.
