First international schools group to use Minecraft Education in the classroom.
Immersive learning experiences helping students develop new life skills.
LONDON, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nord Anglia Education today announced a brand new learning initiative with Minecraft Education, the classroom-based version of the online game children know and love.
As the first international schools group to connect students globally in the Minecraft Education world, students are working with their classmates in other Nord Anglia schools to tackle fun, real-world challenges together.
The first immersive challenge is called ‘Building Community’, created exclusively through Nord Anglia’s MIT-NAE STEAM collaboration. In Minecraft Education’s shared virtual world, students are designing and constructing new communities using their imagination and teamwork to turn ideas into reality.
Each experience is designed by Nord Anglia’s educators to help students:
- Apply learning to real-world challenges through fun, creative, immersive projects
- Strengthen personal and social skills like teamwork, communication, and empathy
- Build digital skills for the future, including problem-solving and coding
Harry Cunningham, Digital Innovation Manager at Nord Anglia Education, said: “Imagine your child working with students in other countries, creating ideas, testing them, and solving problems in real time. At Nord Anglia, we’re always designing new ways to make learning even more engaging so our students build the skills they’ll need for the future. Our tie-up with Minecraft Education is the best of both worlds because children are learning while they’re playing using a game they love.”
Real-time collaboration through Global Campus
Students access Minecraft Education through Global Campus, Nord Anglia’s digital learning platform, which connects more than 100,000 students worldwide.
Minecraft Education’s new dedicated servers allow school projects to evolve over time, so Nord Anglia’s students can revisit, refine, and improve their work together in a shared, secure virtual environment where they design, build, and test solutions to real-world challenges.
The first students to take part are from five Nord Anglia schools in the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador, with more to follow across the education group’s global family of schools.
