NIS is an inclusive learning community inspiring international mindedness, personal excellence, creative thinking. A technology focused school, in which all students use wireless laptop computers as an essential tool in their daily learning, while students in MYP and DP grades work in a one-to-one Mac laptop environment, and in Primary there are carts of computers for each grade level. The Macquarium, which houses the Mac centre, is a hub of action in the centre of the school serving the needs of students and teachers. NIS has a very strong sense of community spirit, which is held by students, parents and staff.
