High-quality teaching and learning (HQTL) lies at the heart of an enriching educational experience, ensuring every student receives the and engagement they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. At Cognita, we believe that defining HQTL requires a global perspective—and our diverse community offers just that. Central to our approach is student voice. That’s why, between September and November 2024, we asked students from five Cognita schools to share what high-quality teaching and learning means to them. A heartfelt thank you to Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai, The British School of Barcelona, Charterhouse Square School, Stamford American School Hong Kong, and Colegios Dunalastair—as well as our contributing authors: Kristie Overton and Dr Simon Camby. #WeAreCognita #HolisticEducation #AcademicExcellence

Building Connections Through Music: AIS x SAIS Choir Exchange We were delighted to host Australian International School, Singapore for the Inaugural AIS x SAIS Elementary School Choir Exchange — a wonderful opportunity for students to collaborate, exchange ideas, and grow together through music within our Cognita Schools in Singapore. The highlight of the evening was the combined performance of "Sisi Ni Moja", meaning "We Are One" in Swahili — a poignant reminder of the power of unity, love, and shared experiences. Events like these reinforce our commitment to holistic education, fostering creativity, cultural appreciation, and lifelong connections.
