How We Learn
What is learning that matters and inspires?
If we walked into a hospital today and the doctors utilized the same methods, tools, and spaces as they did 30 years ago, we would likely turn around and walk out the door...So why should this be any different in the context of education? As China's first IB Continuum School, NIS prepares students Pre-K to Grade 12 for the changing world they live in through inclusive, inquiry-based learning and a rich co-curricular programme.
We believe students learn best when they make meaningful choices about their learning, connect across cultures and perspectives, feel a strong sense of inclusion and belonging, and find an appropriate balance of challenge and support.
These inclusive, Mission and Strategy-embedded beliefs drive all we do to develop the talents of every student in our care. Visit us to see our inspiring learning community in action!
