Class of 2026 Graduation

Graduation at NIS is both a celebration and a farewell – an evening where we honour the achievements, growth, and memories of our seniors as they officially become part of our global alumni community.

From heartfelt speeches and musical performances to moments of reflection, celebration, and joy shared with family, friends, and teachers, Graduation Evening was a fitting tribute to a remarkable group of students.

“I am so proud of the Class of 2026,” said Ms. Sara Morrow, Secondary Principal. “I am excited for them as they move on, exploring the world and work opportunities and studying everything from Medicine to Music Production, Economics to Engineering, Mandarin to Sports Management, and Education to Theatre. It is wonderful to see them following their passions and look forward to seeing their positive impacts on future communities and the world.”

The Class of 2026 now looks ahead to an exciting range of pathways and possibilities. From leading universities around the world to internships, employment opportunities, and meaningful gap-year experiences, our graduates are preparing to step confidently into the next chapter of their lives.

At NIS, graduation represents far more than the completion of the IB Diploma Programme. Alongside their academic studies, every senior has also completed the Global Citizen Diploma (GCD) – a distinctive part of the NIS experience that challenges students to engage deeply with global issues, intercultural understanding, leadership, service, and the arts through authentic experiences beyond the classroom.

Through the GCD, the Class of 2026 has demonstrated not only academic perseverance, but also empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to contributing positively to the world around them. As they leave NIS, they do so equipped with the confidence and perspective to navigate an increasingly interconnected future.
