Guiding
Principles
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
NIS students are expected to devote time and energy to the pursuit of academic achievement while also practicing the personal characteristics of respect, self-discipline and teamwork they see modeled around them in our classrooms, on our playing fields and everywhere else on campus.
CHARACTER
Emphasis is on developing the heart and soul of each child through practices that are morally and ethically demanding. Concepts like self discipline, generosity, compassion, understanding, respect and decency to be invoked and practised both inside and outside the school community.
COMMUNITY
NIS is a community formed by contributions of unique individuals, one person at a time. Everyone has an integral part to play, everyone can make an impact and each one has the ability to contribute to the greater good.
PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING
With very many athletic teams and religious traditions represented within the NIS student body, opportunities abound for students to strengthen their bodies and nourish their souls.
GIVING BACK
Community service is not simply a graduation requirement. From the moment they affix their signatures to our school pledge, NIS students commit themselves to practising the school's principles of personal growth, integrity, self discipline and caring for others.
CREATING RETHINKERS
We hope to give our students the room and opportunity to be 'creative re-thinkers' as they will possess openess to different and better solutions, techniques to see the familiar in a fresh light, ways of accessing deeper levels of thought, knowledge of how to create more 'Eureka' moments and the courage and will to put new ideas into practice.
SMART SCHOOL
"Smart school" is what we are as technology is integrated into every aspect of our learning and teaching, making it collaborative and negotiated, while weaving a rich fabric of stimulation and evaluation.
