High SCHOOL

Great leadership usually starts with a willing heart A position of leadership requires one to possess a forward-looking vision, be prepared to contribute to dynamic change, lead effective action, support pragmatic expectations, exemplify admirable coaching and offer uplifting recognition to those who contribute to the overall benefit of the institution.

This year, as a school, we live up to the expectation that Naseem International School inspires lifelong learners and global citizens. This is only attained through the effective coordination of all our resources within a team of highly qualified educators. Our role involves setting realistic, attainable goals that express our schools mission while supporting our team of educators in an effective manner so as to ensure a collective energy of cooperation and a collective sense of responsibility. By raising expectations, we aim to instill critical thinking and problem-solving skills that would ensure resolution in the face of encountered challenges and even obstacles. Our duty includes leading the quest for focused timely actions, guided by a shared vision, which precedes the path to successful accomplishments. And finally we, as the leadership, should propagate the recognition of all contributions to the shared vision and mission of our outstanding educational institution.

The High School Diploma, based on the American Curriculum, is formally recognized by the Bahrain Ministry of Education as equivalent to Bahrain’s Secondary Diploma. All courses of study offered by the school, all textbooks and literary works provided to students, bear the approval of the Ministry of Education.

Currently our school is the only one in the Kingdom of Bahrain and one of the unique schools worldwide to offer all four IB Programmes with the latest IB accreditation for the Career-Related programme in early 2019. We are also authorized to offer the BTEC Business and BTEC Art and Design courses which provide High School students with a wider range of choices for study options.

All students graduating from NIS will receive the NIS Graduation Diploma. In addition, students also choose to sit for either the IB Diploma or the IB Career-Related Programme in Grade 11 and 12.
