Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam (NAISR) is an International school in Hillegersberg, Netherlands, an area of Rotterdam. The school educates students from 3–18 years of age and has three academic areas: Early Years, Primary School and Secondary School.

Description[]

NAISR (previously American International School of Rotterdam) was founded in 1959 to educate the post-war growth of American families brought to the area by the U.S. Military and international business.[1][2] Over the following fifty years, the military presence in the area declined and the school has focused on becoming a more internationally minded school catering for a much more culturally-diverse population.[3][4]

NAISR is a member of the Northwest European Council of International Schools (NECIS) and is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS). NAISR is also an IB World School.[5]

The core academic subjects of Literacy (English), Mathematics, Science and Social Studies are taught by home grade teachers. Students also take part in 'specials' classes such as Music, Art and Physical Education with specialised teachers in these areas. The school places great importance on the learning of a second language and provides opportunities for pupils to acquire a high level of fluency. All children from Year 1 up are required to take a second language and attend these classes daily.[6]
