Our international teaching team consists of highly qualified and experienced teachers whose first language is English. Working alongside them, we have a team of excellent Chinese co-teachers whose first responsibility is to teach Chinese but whose contribution extends to many other areas of school life. The combination of Western and Asian approaches to teaching and learning is a powerful resource for learning.

NBIS Principles of Highly Effective Teaching:

I. Instruction: NBIS students appreciate teachers who are knowledgeable and able to articulate their knowledge clearly.

II. Illumination: We believe that teachers light the way, but the student must walk the path.

III. Innovation: Our teachers are constantly updating their knowledge and pedagogy so that students have access to the latest research in their field

IV. Inspiration: Good teachers love what they do. And students know it. They can feel it!

V. Involvement: At NBIS we follow the ancient Chinese proverb: I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
