Inquire Inspire Impact! NIS
23 Annual Report Nagoya International School
2022
From The Head of School
Resilience, Recovery and Resurgence
回復、復元そして復活
In this report, we navigate a year that encapsulated both challenge and opportunity for NIS. We celebrate the collective resilience and achievements that defined our school in a year in which we finally entered a transformative period emerging from the shadows of the pandemic, with the familiar rhythms of school life resonating once more. The resumption of domestic travel and community events became a beacon of hope. Students were able to rekindle co-curricular pursuits again, and some athletes needed to navigate a profound learning curve after an extended hiatus. The Halloween festival, followed by our Winter Carnival in December marked our first significant gatherings since 2019, offering a poignant blend of nostalgia and novelty. The symbolic turning of the corner was underscored by both the opening of the new field, a major capital project delayed by the pandemic’s constraints, and the return of our graduation ceremony to its traditional venue—the Gym—the home of the mighty dolphins!
In financial terms, the school embarked on its COVID recovery journey, overcoming the strain induced by the loss of so many students during the pandemic. As borders reopened, we welcomed families to Nagoya, resulting in a gradually growing enrollment that provides reassurance for our long-term sustainability. Confidence in the school’s future was boosted when we were accepted for the prestigious CIS/WASC “Pathway 2” accreditation process.
Schools are living communities shaped by the people and their experiences within them. This year fortified our collective spirit. It deepened our understanding of what makes NIS special and underscored the vital role of connection and partnership between school and home in nurturing the growth of every child. As we reflect on the journey, we emerge stronger and more united in our commitment to Inquire, Inspire, Impact – and Include.
本報告書では、挑戦と機会の両方が凝縮された1年を振り返ります。パンデミックの影からようやく抜け出し、慣れ親しんだ学 校生活のリズムが再び共鳴する変革期を迎えたこの年に、NISを特徴づける回復力と功績を称えます。
国内旅行や地域行事の再開は希望の光となり、生徒たちは再び課外活動を再開することができましたが、中には長い調整期 間を強いられてしまう選手もいました。ハロウィンに続き、12月に開催されたウィンターカーニバルは2019年以来の貴重な機会 となり、懐かしさと新しさの融合を印象づけました。新しいフィールドのオープン、そして、卒業式が従来通りドルフィンズの 本拠地である体育館で行われたことは、パンデミックからの”普通”が取り戻されつつあることを語る象徴的なイベントであ りました。
財政面では入国規制が緩和され、パンデミックに失った生徒を取り戻すべく入学者数は徐々に増加し、長期的な運営の見 通しが立ちました。さらにCIS/WASCの”Pathway2”認定プロセスに受け入れられたことで本校の自信が更に増すものと なりました。
学校は、そこで生活する人々とその経験により形成されます。この1年、私たちの団結力、NISが特別な場所であるという理 解を深め、子どもたち一人ひとりの成長を育む上で、学校と家庭の繋がりが重要な役割を果たすことを強く示されました。
この期間を振り返りながら、私たちはより強く、より団結し、Inquire, Inspire, ImpactそしてIncludeというコミットメント に取り組んでまいります。

As we exited COVID and the ensuing enrollment decline and loss of income, we are pleased to be able to report a modest surplus in our operations budget which helped the school to be able to invest in capital expenditures, including the opening of our wonderful new field. NIS continued to hold sufficient cash on hand to mitigate risks to the continuance of learning while keeping debt within the limits required by Aichi Prefecture.
