At NIS we have a particular concept of what we aim to achieve and how we propose to set out our professional duty to educate our students. Our Mission Statement indicates our targets while our Outline of School Values sets out the underlying principles on which our mission is based.

Mission Statement

At NIS we seek to instil high standards of intellectual knowledge, subject-specific skills, moral responsibility, respect for self and others and discipline in all our students. We aim at providing a warm, caring, supportive and professional environment to expedite the realisation of these goals and all our staff are committed to nurturing and developing a suitable ethos and atmosphere for the realisation of the latter.

While we regard it as a vital part of a school’s responsibility to inculcate a sense of right and wrong in students, NIS does not follow, apply or instill any particular religious doctrine or ideology into its students. The tolerant and inclusive ethos NIS maintains ensures that students of all religious faiths and ideologies feel welcome and at home here. We believe all religions merit due respect and we regard the choice to pursue and subscribe to a particular faith should be a matter for individual students and their families rather than for School policy. Consequently NIS is proud to be a multi-denominational and non-proselytising institution which upholds strict morals and ethics while adopting a latitudinarian attitude towards different religions.

Outline of School Values

NIS regards education as a creative and interactive process in which a student’s individual talents, strengths and potential can – with careful and at tentive fostering – come to fruition in ways that enhance their development, maturity and intellectual fulfillment.

Our teaching follows a child-centred approach which lies at the heart of all the school’s policies. We choose materials and resources to fit the child and not vice versa. Staff are chosen not just for their experience and qualifications but also for  their warm, friendly personalities and their sympathetic attitudes towards young people from varied ethnic backgrounds growing up in Thailand.

The environment we thus create is one that instills respect, understanding, maturity, responsibility, commitment and self-discipline. Consequently our students acquire not just knowledge and qualifications (vital though the latter are) but also essential skills which assist the building of their characters and their being able to cultivate and demonstrate integrity, conscientiousness and diligence.

Lessons are designed by our specialist teaching staff to challenge students and enable them to achieve the highest standards each is capable of without overloading their learning capacity. In this way we seek to help each individual to excel. This is a process that may on occasion lead to the award of commendations and prizes; in other situations it may occur more routinely. But in all facets of NIS’ life every student is encouraged to do the best that he or she is capable of and to fulfil their individual potential to the utmost.
