Wednesday 18 March 2026

NLCS International is delighted to be shortlisted for the Exporting Excellence category at the EducationInvestor Awards 2026, recognising our success in bringing the NLCS educational model to communities around the world.

For over a decade, NLCS International has partnered with trusted organisations to establish schools that uphold the NLCS ethos of academic ambition, exceptional pastoral care and holistic development. Today, our family of schools spans the UK, South Korea, the UAE, Singapore and Japan, with Hong Kong set to join in 2027.

The recent opening of NLCS Kobe in 2025 marked a major milestone, demonstrating continued global confidence in the strength and adaptability of the NLCS approach. Our rigorous quality assurance framework, leadership development programmes and cross‑school collaborations ensure every campus delivers the high standards associated with NLCS.

Academic results remain exceptional across the NLCS family. In 2025, NLCS (UK) achieved an IB Diploma average of 42.9, placing it among the top schools globally, while international campuses also performed well above the world average. Four students achieved a perfect score of 45, and 37 progressed to Oxbridge and Ivy League universities.

From a single pioneering school in London to a connected international community spanning multiple countries, NLCS demonstrates that academic excellence can be successfully exported, sustained and scaled. This award shortlisting recognises not only the organisation’s achievements to date, but also its ongoing commitment to shaping globally minded students and fostering exceptional educational outcomes worldwide.
