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.
A middle-school student preparing for the Cambridge curriculum is seen as a confident, ethical, and reflective learner who values understanding over memorization. The focus is on developing critical thinking, effective communication in English, problem-solving skills, and independent learning habits, while nurturing curiosity, collaboration, and global awareness. Such a student is encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, respect diverse perspectives, and grow into a well-balanced individual aligned with NIS’s commitment to academic excellence, character building, and lifelong learning.
For students seeking admission to Middle School at NIS, the assessment model is designed to holistically understand a learner’s readiness for the Cambridge curriculum. NIS uses INCAS, Insight and MIDYIS as a baseline assessment to evaluate students’ developed abilities, aptitude, and learning potential rather than rote knowledge alone. This is complemented by a review of academic records and interactions to assess English proficiency, reasoning skills, and conceptual understanding. The process aligns with the expectations of Cambridge Assessment International Education, which emphasise critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to apply knowledge independently, ensuring students are well-prepared for a smooth transition into the Cambridge learning environment.
The Nahar International School follows an overall academic calendar from July to May.
The School has a five day week, and the timings are as follows:
