Long Live the King 5


This year’s Inspirational Quote from the Founder

Those who fear changes also fear innovation and progress. As the world is fast changing, the old order will eventually cease and a new order will become a way for survival and prosperity. Education today needs to come out of the old world and old ways to new ways to usher in the new world.

~Nathan Anthony~

Founder & CEO NIVA International School

You can try to quantify NIVA With photos and paragraphs And pictures and poetry,

Message from the Head of School

But it doesn’t capture the spirit Of love, happiness, and warmth That is NIVA. But if we must try, This year’s Talon exemplifies that essence Of smiling students, Triumphant teachers, Supportive staff, Loving leaders, And proud parents. Their snapshots are wonderfully spread And splashed across the pages Bringing smiles, laughter, a tear (maybe two) To us all of what we had together. Let us remember to remember That life is how we make it, And that this yearbook is a testimony To that idea and to our own memories Of what we accomplished. With much love to everyone here at NIVA,

~Mr. Jon~ Head of School
