Our Alumni

NIS is a special place. It is both a physical place, and a place that exists in our hearts, across generations, cultures and languages. Regardless of age or the number of years here as a student, alumni and former staff (and parents!) share a unique bond and a desire to continue what has made NIS an important part of so many of our lives – our love of learning, our commitment to causes greater than ourselves, and our pursuit of dreams. We hope that these pages can help foster that bond, and connect our current school community with our alumni community. Go Dolphins!

Dolphin Tales

NIS has a long history in Nakashidami. It started in the mid-1960s with a dream held by a handful of parents seeking to educate their children and build a school community that would continue to serve the Nagoya area for years to come. Since that time, thousands of students have called NIS home. Whether they have been a member of our community for just a short while or for their entire school life from preschool through high school, graduates and former students can be found in all corners of the globe following their passions and having an impact in their communities. Check out below how our students have Inquired, Inspired, and Impacted their way out in the world, beyond Nakashidami!

Still involved with NIS after all these years!

Andy, Class of ‘82, didn’t really appreciate the situation he was in at the time when he was at NIS. Understandably, he was busy trying to navigate life growing up in Japan, but looking back, he wouldn’t have had it any other way, and NIS was a major part of that.

Working for Amazon in NYC

Hayato, Class of 2015, graduated from Boston University and then grad school at Columbia University in NYC, where he now works for a large (very familiar!) global company and enjoys life in the Big Apple.
