NIS Voices

Nanjing International School is committed to supporting and meeting the needs of all our learners. We foster inclusion in many ways, and one of the most important tools to do so is our approach to EdTech. Join NIS IT Director, Dr. Shannon Doak, as we explore education technology, individualisation, and what innovation really means.

Language learning is a cornerstone of any international school, from Pre-K to 12. At Nanjing International School, we see language as a catalyst for intercultural understanding, the foundation for international mindedness, and the expression of cultural identity. Join NIS Deputy Primary Principal and Mandarin Language Teacher, Ms. Zhang Bo, as we explore our school's approach to language learning and ELL with our youngest students in a truly inclusive environment where multilingualism is valued for all.

Research shows us that Social and emotional factors play a crucial role in student behavior, academic performance, and mental health. Join Nanjing International School's Secondary Counsellor, Mr. Ruben Joyner, as we discuss our holistic, student-centred approach to wellness, the challenges faced by international school students, and how well-being extends to the entire community.

TEDxYouth is a renowned branch of the globally recognized TEDx public speaking events, designed for, and often organized by, young people. 

On March 5, We are hosting our 6th thought-provoking and inspirational TEDxYouth@NIS event on campus, featuring presenters from around the world, including professional speakers, students, NIS faculty, and community members. Join Nanjing International School's Secondary English Language and Literature Teacher and TEDx Organiser, Ms. Trina Ryan, as we look inside our latest event and learn how TEDx became so important to our students and entire school community.

We know that school helps prepare students for their futures, but the pace of change is so fast. The challenges that our students, society, and civilisation are facing are so present now in the moment that the future of learning is happening today. Join Nanjing International School's Director of Learning, Mr. Kasson Bratton, as we look at how our school is uniquely situated to embrace the change and challenges of tomorrow, today.
