Over 100 students grooved at the Nanjing International School's PTA "Disco Party" in our Black Box! A massive thank you to our amazing PTA volunteers for making this colorful, wild, and fun-filled event possible!

NIS recently travelled to Shanghai to compete in the VEX Robotics 16HR Build Competition hosted by Shanghai American School Puxi. This year, NIS entered with an all-girls team from our Secondary School.

After an in-depth search that attracted interest from candidates in education around the world, we are excited to announce that Ms. Sandra Chow will be our next NIS Director of Learning / Deputy Director starting in August 2024.

Exploring a vibrant city known for its rich cultural heritage, our G11-12 DP Visual Arts students embarked on a fulfilling overnight art trip to Beijing. With a blend of ancient traditions and modern art scene, the 798 Art District in Beijing provided the perfect backdrop for these young artists to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and inspiration.

In an exciting development at Nanjing International School, the search for our new Director of Learning / Deputy Director for 2024-25 is in its final stages. This week, our three highly qualified finalist candidates had the opportunity to immerse themselves in our vibrant school community and campus. Their visit included extensive interactions with NIS parents, students, teachers, and leaders, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of our mission, strategy, and learning in action

The first round of the NIS Swim Series for the 2023-2024 swim season created quite a splash, showcasing the significance of competitive swimming within the NIS Activities programme. Our student swimmers, organized into squads based on age and ability, embark on a year-round journey of learning and development, nurturing a blend of performance and teamwork skills.

"The Nest" project empowered our youngest students to fix a broken bench on their playground, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and leadership skills while emphasizing the value of student voice and choice.

Our Secondary School recently organized a DP Retreat where Grade 11 and Grade 12 students embarked on an enriching learning exploration of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

Since 1998, the NIS House system has fostered friendly and inclusive competition from PreK-12. To kick off the start of 2023-24, our entire school came together for a fantastic human formation synchronization!

What an incredible turnout! We were delighted to connect with our inclusive parent community through the first PTA Coffee Morning of the year. Parents both new and returning enjoyed our recently renovated Café, which is now home to Skyways@The Centre, a community favorite.

Join us with Niels Loos, our new NIS Aquatics Director! Learn more about him and what’s next for our inclusive swimming programme.

Congratulations to Nanjing International School’s Class of 2023! Their IB results this year are 3 points above the world average as our graduates once again outperformed global peers. As an inclusive school, we are especially proud of their achievements.

Our campus was buzzing with activity over the summer months as we prepared for a new school year full of exceptional education and exciting developments. School leadership, student ambassadors, and even our friendly NIS Lion greeted new and returning students as we embarked on a fantastic first day of 2023-24.

Enrolment Day is a special occasion at our NIS, where we formally welcome new families from across China and around the world into our inclusive learning community. This year, 100 new students and their families joined us for a morning of orientation, information, and celebration.

Professional learning and development aren’t just an integral part of all teachers' professional practice – it’s also an opportunity to inspire and spark renewed purpose behind our mission. Professional Learning Days (PLD) are just one of the ways that NIS facilitates the ongoing growth of our teachers and helps them prepare for the new school year.

As part of our ongoing commitment to embrace sustainability, NIS is eliminating the use of all single-use plastics on campus starting from the 2023-24 academic year.

Early Years builds the foundation for Primary School and helps spark a lifelong love of learning. We believe that our youngest students come to us as individuals, rich in prior knowledge, skills and experiences. They are capable and naturally curious, able to pose and solve their own problems and develop and test their theories. Relationships are at the heart of our Early Years programme – relationships with people, materials, and spaces.
