Student Voice

Each and every student has a voice in their learning.

I like my school because I can choose how I learn.

Carrie, Class of ’30

NIS is a place that allows students to be expressive in so many ways and seek our passions to be prepared for the future. NIS allows you to be you.

Kirsten, Class of '26

I like how there are so many different activities to participate in, like sports and Drama. I like how there are people from many different backgrounds and so you get to make a lot of new friends.

Paige, Class of ‘25

The school has given me the opportunity to try new things I haven’t tried before and to reflect on my learning.

Fabian, Class of ’24
