International School
Asia’s newest and most modern international school - Songdo International School (NSCIS) - will provide an outstanding education from kindergarten through high school. We are committed to each child achieving his or her academic potential. The proposed curriculum at the elementary, middle and secondary school levels is based on standards that emphasize high expectations and promotes international perspectives. This approach will prepare students for entry into leading post-secondary institutions around the world.
Songdo International School (NSCIS) broke ground on March 8, 2006.
NSCIS will be a 40,000 square meter state-of-the-art private preparatory school. The curriculum will be run by International School Services (ISS), the world's leader in providing a comprehensive range of quality educational services for schools, educators, families and corporations. In October, 2005 U.S.-based Milton Academy signed an agreement with NSCIS, forging an International School Partnership. NSCIS has also contracted private advisory services from researchers based at Harvard University to further enhance the design of the program.
