School Information #
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.
