Founded in 1964, Nagoya International School (NIS) is a long-standing pillar of the international community in Central Japan. As a non-profit school, it serves a diverse population of expatriate and local families seeking a high-quality international education. NIS is uniquely distinguished as the only school in the region to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, comprising the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP).
The school's philosophy centers on the mission to 'Inquire, Inspire, and Impact.' This is reflected in a student-centered inquiry-based approach that encourages learners to take ownership of their education and engage with global issues. The campus, located in the Moriyama ward, provides a serene and spacious environment conducive to learning, featuring modern architecture that blends with the surrounding greenery.
NIS is dually accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS). This ensures that the school maintains rigorous global standards of excellence. With a robust extracurricular program including athletics, performing arts, and service learning, NIS prepares students for entry into top-tier universities worldwide.
