University & College Outcomes That Reflect the Journey
We believe every student deserves a university pathway that reflects their strengths, interests, and aspirations.
Each year, our graduates receive offers from leading universities around the world. While these outcomes reflect the strength of an NIS education, our focus has always been on helping every student find the university where they will be challenged and able to achieve their own ambitions.
Through exceptional teaching, meaningful relationships, rigorous academics, and experiences beyond the classroom, students develop the knowledge, skills, character, and confidence needed to thrive at university and beyond. By the time they graduate, they are well prepared to pursue a wide range of academic pathways with purpose and confidence.
An Inclusive IB Diploma Programme
Our IB Diploma Programme is open to all students who are prepared to embrace its challenges. Rather than limiting participation to a select group of students, we believe every learner should have the opportunity to pursue a rigorous academic program with the support of exceptional teachers and a caring school community. Our results reflect both academic excellence and our commitment to developing every student's potential.
The NIS School Profile
Our annual School Profile provides universities and educational partners with detailed information about Nagoya International School, including our academic programmes, grading and assessment practices, IB results, university matriculation, curriculum, and school community.
