NBIS is a new, energetic, fast growing co-educational school catering for international students as well as a limited number of Chinese students whose parents have ambitions for them to study and graduate overseas.

Our well resourced school is located in an attractive environment close to central Ningbo. We are fully licensed and enjoy the enthusiastic support of the Zhejiang and Ningbo Municipal Governments.

Our teachers strive to develop globally aware students who are creative and enquiring and who aspire to achieve excellence in all academic and co-curricula programmes. We seek to develop the ability to think critically and independently. We place great importance on promoting and practising our school values of respect, caring, integrity, achievement, diversity, self worth and cooperation.

From our establishment in 2005 we have had a strong formal link with the South Australian Department of Education and Children’s Services. We lease their curriculum framework (SACSA) in its entirety and implement it throughout the school. SACSA is widely used in Commonwealth countries and increasingly throughout the world.

SACSA provides a learning programme from birth to Grade 12. It offers a well structured, rigorous, coherent programme while providing opportunities for teachers to capitalise on aspects of Chinese culture as well as the diverse cultural backgrounds of students.
