WHAT WE OFFER
Learning Atmosphere

With a capacity for 600 students, NIS is big enough to offer diverse programs and large scale activities and small enough to guarantee attention to individual development and educational success. Our students, teachers and parents all value NIS’ nurturing family environment.

With a green yard view from everywhere in school, NIS is a collaboration of five school buildings, all purpose built and beautifully designed, standing on 40-rai of land.

The Elementary classes incorporate an Art Room, Computer Lab, Music Room, and spacious outdoor play area. The Middle School and High School benefit from open area classes, well-equipped Science Labs, a Music Room, an Art Room, and state-of-the Art Computer Labs.

Emphasis on Individuality
Students at NIS regularly meet one-on-one with their teachers to discuss their learning goals and receive feedback on their classwork. Teachers help students identify their strengths, set goals based on areas that need improvement, and furthermore, follow up and celebrate achievements. As they transform their weaknesses into assets, students feel proud of their accomplishments and gain confidence to take on new challenges, inside and outside the classroom.
Inquiry-Based, Hands-on Learning
At NIS, our goal is to make learning more effective and enjoyable by engaging our students’ curiosity through hands-on learning. We strive to instill in our students a passion for investigating the problem, asking questions and finding their answers which result in meaningful discoveries.
Learning Outside the Classroom
At NIS, our teachers take learning beyond the classroom walls. Each student has the opportunity to take part in field trips, after school clubs, sports, annual overnight retreats (Grades 1-8), Student Council, and school-wide events such as International Day and Winter Carnival. Our student body also engage themselves in world issues through school-wide campaigns aligned with global awareness campaigns such as UN International Day of Peace, UN Sustainable Development Goals, #beboldforchange, International Women’s Day, and Earth Day.
