Mission
The mission of Nada International School is to provide exemplary international education so that students may acquire the necessary academic, personal and social knowledge, skills and qualities to move on to other schools, establishments of higher education, or into a career with a high degree of justifiable confidence.
School Focus
NIS is a school that prides itself on academic achievement. This is one of our main aims. To date we have achieved high levels of achievement in the College Board SAT Reasoning / College Board SAT Subject and Cambridge International Examinations IGCSE, AS and A Level exams. Many of our students wish to attend high calibre universities around the world, with the initial aim of under-graduate study in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, law, engineering, veterinary science and business. Resultantly, achieving these goals requires a rigorous academic approach. Our graduates can be viewed on the NIS website (a truly impressive bunch of young people). Their university destinations are also available for viewing. In order to achieve academic success NIS strives to provide the conditions that are necessary to achieve an optimal learning environment, where children are motivated, safe and enjoy coming to school. Realizing these aims requires dedication and a real desire to make a difference to the lives of these young people.
