School life at NIS
Creating an environment where students can learn, develop, and thrive.
Our beautiful Kindergarten and Primary campuses feature wide open spaces with plenty of room for our students to be active. Indoors, you’ll find modern learning spaces with interactive whiteboards, specialist Chinese Studies rooms, and creative spaces.
Unstructured outdoor play is part of our children’s daily lives. NIS students learn to seek out exercise, explore their creativity and appreciate the beauty of nature in our leafy playground. The outdoors is also incorporated into teaching time: children learn about the growing cycle as they plant seeds and watch them sprout.
August-June (three terms)
Our school calendar is aligned with Generations Christian Education schools and other international schools in Hong Kong.
Kindergarten:
AM Session – 9AM-12PM | PM Session – 1PM-4PM
Primary:
8:45-3PM
Our school buses are operated by a private bus company, and cover a wide area of the New Territories. The buses are fitted with seat belts, and bus mothers along with drivers take great care of children while on the road.
In our Saturday English programmes, children learn and use the English language in a fun, engaging, and interactive environment. Our goal is to build each child’s confidence in using the language so they can enjoy communicating in English. The sessions are aimed at expanding knowledge and vocabulary in various topics, encouraging speaking, and reinforcing reading and writing skills through stimulating children’s creativity and imaginations. Some of our activities include reading and listening to stories, speaking and listening, singing songs, physical activity games in English, arts & crafts, and vocabulary building.
Enrolment is open to all. The programme is suitable for students learning English as a second language and are familiar with the English language in the classroom, but is not recommended for children with zero or little English background knowledge. The first day of the program will be an assessment for new students. The teacher will inform you after the initial session to let you know if the program is suitable for your child.
Each term consists of 7 sessions, with a term fee of $2982 (or discounted fee of $2681, see below for details).
