Our approach and curriculum

We offer quality preparatory education in our campus where every child is encouraged to achieve his or her best in and outside the classroom. Our Seven Guiding Principles capture the essence of NIS. They influence the day to day activities of the school and give our children the courage and will to put new ideas to practice.

A variety of teaching strategies alongside the latest ICT technology are used to ensure that our goals are realized. From the outset, confidence and self-esteem are nurtured and happy, compassionate, disciplined students will move from NIS Prep (mostly at the age of 11+) to our Middle School with foundations and friendships to last a life time.

Our team of highly skilled, experienced and dedicated faculty delivers the curriculum using innovative styles, methods and resources, whereby learning becomes collaborative, rich and negotiated, weaving a rich fabric of stimulation and evaluation.

Activities

Children are encouraged to take part in a wide range of extracurricular activities throughout the year which include football, netball, basketball, cricket, rounders, hockey, athletics, swimming, music, drama, computers, art, cookery and chess. The Inter-house competitions enhance students’ sense of belonging to their respective teams.

At our prep, we offer Key S1 & 2 of the British National Curriculum, leading to the 11+ Common Entrance Examinations in Yr.6. These exams are from the ISEB. Subjects offered are English, Math, Science, Geography, History, French, Kiswahili, P.S.H.E, Music, Art & Design, ICT, PE & Swimming.
