Specialist Mandarin (Putonghua) lessons are also part of the programme. Class sizes average around 23-28 students. NIS emphasises outdoor learning and play in its leafy Tai Po setting and grounds its educational approach in a Christian ethos with service and community-mindedness.

For families seeking a smaller-scale international primary environment in Hong Kong that blends enquiry-based learning with outdoor opportunities and faith-inspired values, NIS provides a distinctive option.
