Our Grade 1 students put on a fabulous performance for their parents and Primary students and teachers in a student-led recreation of 8 stories. Costumes, music, singing, and acting brought these stories to life as our passionate students showed that stories can be told in so many different ways.

What if we could transform the parks of Nanjing into horticultural spaces cultivated by the citizens themselves? What if they could be served by an artificial habitat including warehouses, a transparent vegetarian restaurant, and an open laboratory to bring students closer to nature?

These aren’t the questions of city experts, but ones that Sofia, Grade 10, asked during her study in the advanced Global Online Academy (GOA) Architecture course at NIS.

Our Semester 2 Enrolment Day was full of warmth, welcomes, and fun for the new families joining Nanjing International School from across China and around the world. Representatives from every area of our school were in attendance to help our new community members get started for their first day on Monday, including friendly student ambassadors and staff volunteers. 

For this Unit of Inquiry, our Grade 5 students connected their family stories to historical events using research into primary sources and other information. Students also interviewed their families to learn more about their ancestors and their stories from time periods like World War 2, the Three Kingdoms, Ancient Korea, and more.

The university admissions season is in full swing, and early acceptances continue to come in for Grade 12 students at Nanjing International School. Our students have gained early acceptance to world-renowned universities and specialised programmes across the world, with more results coming soon.

To grow up healthy and maximise their development, it’s important that children and teens are physically active. NIS offers holistic Physical Education and Activities programmes that focus on balance, inclusivity, and student voice.

We hope that everyone has had a safe and wonderful winter vacation. Semester 2 of 2021-22 promises to be full of inspiration, international mindedness, personal excellence, and creative thinking.
