Thrive in a rapidly evolving world

At Cognita, we know every student is unique.

We nurture their distinct personalities and strengths. We support them academically, socially, and emotionally, wherever they are in the world, wherever they’re starting from.

And each and every one of our schools is unique too.

We protect what’s special about them, while offering them rich knowledge, opportunities, and best practices. And they get to be part of something bigger. We open their classrooms to the collective wisdom of over 100 schools in 17 countries, ensuring every child gets an education that’s, quite literally, world class.

It’s an individual approach that empowers every school, teacher and student to focus on what they do best. And thrive.

Cognita is one of the world's leading global
schools groups, with over 100 schools united by the same commitment to provide a high quality holistic education for their students

We genuinely believe that a holistic education is about connecting the cognitive, social and emotional. This results in students that succeed academically but with more. The ‘more’ is the way they are prepared to take their place in the world. A world that is complex, fast paced and exciting. Our students use their education to make a positive difference to themselves and others. They have a sense that anything is possible.''

Our Cognita Strengths

Academic excellence

The only thing that never changes in a Cognita school is quality. We invest in our schools and teachers to keep everyone growing. Our students are equipped with a strong academic foundation. And a holistic education that prepares them for whatever lies ahead.

Great teachers

We understand the value of great teachers. Our teachers are excellent and we want to help them grow even further. We offer global career opportunities and leadership development programmes to keep our teachers shining. Because education and progression should never stand still and learning is lifelong.

Shared knowledge

We’re a global staffroom of over 21,000 colleagues. That’s a lot of expertise. When a new school joins us, we open the door to all that knowledge and effective practices. So that schools will keep their individuality, but gain all the support of our worldwide community.

School Finder

We have over 100 schools across 17 countries, teaching 13 different curricula.

Our Sustainability Strategy

At Cognita, our aim is to do our part to contribute to a more sustainable, diverse, inclusive and responsible future. We are committed to making a positive impact on our environment and supporting the communities in which we learn and work.

Our schools are passionate about making a positive difference in the world, and we are here to support and empower schools to continue with the great work they do.

We also strive to create ambitious goals and make year-on-year progress on the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) topics that are most important to us and our stakeholders. Read about our sustainability strategy, progress and ambitions in our latest Sustainability Report.
