Nagoya International School

Nagoya International School (NIS) is a diverse community of life-long learners who embody the values and beliefs of our mission and who endeavor to shape the world we share, from Nakashidami to all corners of the globe.

The simple dream in 1964 of a place in Nagoya where children can learn within an English-language curriculum has grown into a vibrant international community that inspires and empowers children to think creatively and critically, pursue lifelong learning, and contribute positively to the global community.

NIS seeks to make our mission the reality for every student, in every classroom, every day – by design. Our teachers are dedicated to nurturing the talents and dreams of students who come from diverse backgrounds and abilities. Our students are the beneficiaries of the generous support of a dedicated group of volunteer Trustees and Directors who ensure that our facilities, finances and programs work in concert with teachers and staff to provide the best possible foundation for learning and growth.
