Northfields International School was founded in 2001 by a small group of eight parents living in the North. They pooled their hearts, minds and finances to create a school with a family atmosphere for their children, and opened in September 2001 to a first intake of 9 pupils. The school is presented within the Inspired Education Group network, which provides global opportunities and a holistic curriculum across academics, sports and the creative and performing arts through its Inspired framework. Inspired Education Group offers academic excellence to over 85,000 students in over 115 schools on 6 continents and provides experiences such as summer camps, student exchanges, leadership conferences, and collaborative overseas projects.
