Our experienced, multicultural teaching team of nearly 100 come from 18 different nationalities. Faculty over the years have highlighted 3 main areas of excellence at NIS: high quality teachers, great school community, and excellent resources. Nobody ever mentions salary because we pay well as we have high expectations. This is my 11th year at NIS and I am only the 2nd School Director in our nearly 30-year history. I love our school. Ask around – it's a cool place to work.
