Nagoya International School (NIS) serves the educational needs of the bicultural, international and internationally-minded community of Nagoya, Japan. As an inclusive school, NIS enrolls students with diverse gifts, talents and dreams who both benefit from the programs we offer and have the opportunity to achieve the objectives of our mission.
Consistent with our internationally-minded school community, we believe all students have both the right and the responsibility of global citizenship. NIS celebrates diversity and does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its admission policies, educational policies, scholarships, and other school-administered programs.
To enroll, applicants must have an appreciation of our mission and philosophy, and demonstrate the potential to succeed within our English-based curriculum. Equally, parents or guardians of applicants must demonstrate a willingness to work in partnership with the school in support of their child.
While the admissions process at NIS is guided by an inclusive philosophy, the needs of each applicant are considered carefully while also evaluating the ability of the school to deliver equitable access to the mission for all enrolled students. This includes a consideration of the applicant’s readiness to access the curriculum, the extent to which individualized support is available, and the extent to which the applicant’s family is aligned to the mission and philosophy of the school. The final decision to accept or deny an applicant for admissions rests solely with the school’s administration. The school is not obligated to release admission test results to applicants, nor to elaborate beyond the initial written communication in the event applicants are unsuccessful in gaining admission.
Applicants must fully complete the application process to be considered for admissions, including submission of all required documents, and agree to the terms and conditions listed under the ‘Parent Admissions Agreement’ found within the application form which indicates their understanding of and agreement with the expectations of families at NIS.
Applicants who are offered a place at NIS will be invited to proceed to registration and enrollment provided that all financial obligations are met, including any additional fees for student services provision.
