Admissions Policies & Criteria

Who We Serve

NIS serves internationally minded students from Preschool through Grade 12. We welcome families from diverse nationalities, languages, cultures, and backgrounds who value inquiry, inclusion, and whole-child education. Successful applicants demonstrate alignment with the school's mission and values and are ready to participate positively in our learning community.

Finding the Right Fit

At Nagoya International School, we believe the admissions process is about finding the right learning environment for every child. Our goal is to welcome students who will thrive in our inquiry-based, internationally minded community while ensuring we have the capacity to support every learner effectively.

As an inclusive, non-profit international school, we carefully consider each application individually. Admissions decisions are based not only on the applicant but also on our ability to provide the academic, social-emotional, and language support needed for every student to succeed.
