Nahar International School (NIS, We, The School) is a Private Unaided Minority and an inclusive co-educational School affiliated to the Cambridge Assessments International Examinations (CAIE), UK.
The school is committed to ensuring a transparent, effective admissions process that is supportive of the school’s vision and mission, also the needs of its entire community, while remaining fully compliant with all applicable Government regulatory requirements.
The school values highly motivated, reflective, and internationally minded learners who align with the NIS philosophy of holistic education and lifelong learning. Students are expected to demonstrate strong academic foundations, effective communication in English, critical and analytical thinking, and the ability to manage independent research and sustained coursework. Readiness for academic rigour, strong time-management skills, collaboration, and ethical decision-making is essential, along with openness to feedback and continuous personal growth. Equally important are positive attitudes such as integrity, resilience, respect for others, and a willingness to take ownership of learning. These attributes reflect the learner profile and values of the International Baccalaureate, preparing students to become confident, compassionate, and future-ready global citizens.
For students seeking admission to the IB Diploma Programme at NIS, the assessment process focuses on academic readiness, learner disposition, and alignment with the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile. Along with a review of academic records, assessments and interactions evaluate critical thinking, research skills, academic English, and the ability to connect learning across subjects. Emphasis is also placed on qualities of a lifelong learner, curiosity, independence, resilience, reflection, and openness to growth, ensuring students are prepared for the rigour and holistic expectations of the IB Diploma Programme.
For students seeking admission to NIS, the assessment process includes CPSQ, which helps identify a student’s learning strengths, cognitive skills, and approach to problem-solving. CPSQ supports the school in understanding a learner’s readiness for concept-based learning, adaptability, and independent thinking. This holistic approach ensures that students admitted to NIS are well aligned with the school’s academic expectations, values, and commitment to nurturing confident, reflective, and lifelong learners.
The Nahar International School follows an overall academic calendar from July to May.
