Norwegian International School (NIS) in Hong Kong is a Christian-values-focused international day school for children aged from about 2 years 8 months up to 11 years (Year 6). It offers a Kindergarten campus at 175 Kwong Fuk Road and a Primary campus at 170 Kam Shan Road in Tai Po, New Territories. Instruction is in English, guided by the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) in the early years and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) in the primary years. 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. The school also offers a school bus service. 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.
