Who We Are
Welcome to Nanjing International School. We invite you to experience our inclusive learning community both online and in person.
Founded in 1992, we are Nanjing's oldest international school and the first IB Continuum School in China. Our student-centred Pre-K to 12 International Baccalaureate curriculum sets us apart as a leading IB World School. We are proud to be the only independent, fully accredited non-profit international school in the city, as well as the largest and most diverse in Nanjing. We live our Mission through the lens of our award-winning School Strategy.
On behalf of the NIS community, welcome to our school. All that we do is driven by our inspiring mission. The four pillars of inclusion, international-mindedness, personal excellence, and creative thinking are the foundations for learning at NIS.
This is my 14th year as a member of this wonderful inclusive learning community.
