International School in Tai Po, Hong Kong

Norwegian International School, Hong Kong:
The Norwegian International School (NIS) is an independent, non-profit, Christian school that provides an intimate, family oriented quality education for international and Chinese students in Tai Po, south of Hong Kong in southern China. We follow International Primary Curriculum (IPC) with programs taught in English. In a nutshell IPC takes specific subject learning goals and delivers learning through well-planned thematic studies. The goals fall in domains of science, geography, history, ICT, art, music and P.E.

Through these subjects, children are able to respond in different and exciting ways to the themes they are studying. The IPC is based on the most recent research into the brain and learning. The units of work are set up so that students most effectively access learning. From kindergarten to Grade 6, students learn in a truly small class environment where attention, care, and providing effective teaching for all round development are our most important aims.

Our primary school section is located near Tao Wo station in the quiet village of KamShan, Tai Po in south Hong Kong. We also have a kindergarten section in Tai Po near Market station, nestled in a naturally wooded playground.

Mission:

* knowing each child to know how to best teach them and to help them identify particular gifts and provide opportunities to develop them.
