Nanjing International School is a non-profit International school in Xian Lin College and University Town (仙林大学城), Qixia District, Nanjing, enrolling children age 3 to 18 from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12.[1] It has around 620 students from over 30 countries.[citation needed]
The school offers German language instruction in Secondary School.
History
The school was founded on October 14, 1992, by a small group of expatriate parents who wanted to provide English language education for their children. Initially, the school was named Nanjing American School and had five students ranging from Grades 1 to 5. In 1996, the school was officially registered by the Nanjing authorities and changed its name to Nanjing International School.
After three years of operating in rented rooms at the Nanjing Foreign Language School (NFLS), the enrollment at Nanjing International School grew, requiring more space than the two classrooms at NFLS. As a result, NIS board members approved the renovation of two buildings belonging to the Dingshan hotel, which were converted into classrooms to accommodate primary/nursery, elementary, and middle school students.
In 1997, NIS hired Mr. Gez Hayden as the first School Director. Between 1998 and 2000, NIS was accredited by the International Baccalaureate to teach the Middle Years Programme (1998), Diploma Programme (1999), and Primary Years Programme (2000), making NIS the first IB Continuum School in China.
Curriculum
It was the first school in China which is fully authorised by International Baccalaureate Organisation to offer the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma Programmes (DP).
Facilities
The school's purpose-built campus spans over an area of 70,000 square meters.[citation needed]
