The IDEAS Hub

Lisa Timm Director of STEAM and Innovation

The IDEAS Hub represents an ambitious new vision, centered on a new facility that will transform the physical presence of NLCS and enrich the education we can offer to both our students and the community.

It will position NLCS at the forefront of innovative education with a focus on nurturing our students’ ambitions and our teachers’ passions for their subjects. Reflecting the importance of the coherence between subjects as well as the value gained from the differences between them will make our students confident architects of their own education.

Blending in seamlessly with the ethos of the International Baccalaureate and augmenting our students’ experience of A Levels, the work the IDEAS Hub will facilitate will foster life-long learners who have an appreciation for their position in the world, academically, culturally, and ethically.

From exploring Human Rights through Model United Nations, to creating multimedia art installations raising awareness for environmental challenges, the Atrium, Make Space and new Art and EDT facilities will encourage our students to engage with problems across academic disciplines and will enable them to work in partnership with students from other schools, and with industry professionals. Through our business partnerships, we will give our students an understanding of the breadth and wealth of career opportunities available to them, whether through mentored projects or career-based workshops.

As the ONL community, we would be delighted to invite you to contribute to the even more vibrant extra-curricular life the IDEAS Hub will enable us to have from Spring 2024.
