A New Way of Teaching and Learning
Secondary School IB Programme
At the heart of Secondary School is our innovative, award-winning NIS Strategy that puts students at the centre of everything we do: Student Voice and Student Choice and Burst the Bubble.
At NIS, we are developing critical thinkers and leaders by involving students in the decisions about teaching and learning. We support risk-taking and international mindedness by equipping our learners with the skills to thrive outside their comfort zone and connect with nature, people, culture, and places. This is a true 21st century education in action!
Globally-Recognised NIS Diploma
Our international graduating classes are accepted to top universities around the world each year, including Ivy League schools and many of the Times Higher Education World Top 50 universities.
Our team of professional counselors offer personalised support to find the best-fit university or next step for each individual that offers programs and experiences suited to their goals and passions.
Global Citizen Diploma
The Global Citizen Diploma is a validation of activities and experiences that students do in addition to their academics. Students showcase their stories with authentic audiences as GCD highlights the story of learning and growing through a range of lenses.
Global Online Academy
Global Online Academy courses are our courses, taught by experienced faculty from renowned peer schools all over the world. This is a new kind of online class in which relationships and connections drive students to share their perspectives and learn from those of others.
