WELCOME
Welcome to Ningbo British International School.
The school has now been in operation for 19 years, growing from a fledgling operation with just 6 students, two teachers and a principal, to the current vibrant learning community of about 500 students from nearly 50 countries and regions with teaching staff recruited from around the world. The school now aspires to become a leader in international education in Zhejiang Province.
Students attending NBIS are required to hold an international passport. Class sizes are capped to be as low as practically possible, and we have 2 teachers per class up to Year 6.
Holding degrees from well-credentialed universities, western teachers come fully qualified to teach and represent many years of experience in their areas of teaching expertise. The local Chinese staff are also highly competent, most with English Language degrees, Chinese teaching qualifications and bilingual skills.
Despite the rigour attached to such curriculum offerings, we manage to keep the friendly‘family feel’alive through a very active PTA and Student Council, ensuring that school wide social events are held regularly and are very well attended and supported.
Our School Advisory Committee (SAC) acts in an informal governing role and assists me, as CEO, in the running of the school, long term planning and policy development.
NBIS is a great school, with excellently behaved students, very competent staff, positive input from parents, credible curriculum offerings and strong, on-going support from the Wanli Education Group and the Ningbo Government. The school is an authorized examination centre for Cambridge International Examinations.
I am delighted and proud to be the Principal of Ningbo British International School. I hope that the website provides helpful information and I would be pleased to welcome you to the campus should you wish to find out more.
Mr Philip Billing
International Principal of NBIS
