High School Enrichment Opportunities
NIS provides real and relevant learning opportunities to fully prepare students for their future.
As part of the International Schools Partnership, we are able to offer our high school students some amazing leadership opportunities, for example:
Model United Nations
Model United Nations is an educational simulation in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations.
ISP Model United Nations
Our students take part in the ISP Virtual Model United Nations Conference. This is an opportunity for students from different ISP schools around the world to experience an educational, virtual simulation of a real UN Conference.
Future Global Leaders Conference
The Future Global Leaders Conference is a debate and diplomacy conference offering students aged 13-17 the opportunity to come together to debate some of our society’s most pressing issues.
The topics of debate – such as creating an equitable education, combating climate change, redressing historical racial injustices, ensuring digital privacy, or addressing the gender pay-gap – are diverse, significant, global, and complex.
A truly international event, delegates come from five different continents, and different and diverse cultures, viewpoints and thought processes. To show our commitment to inclusion, every committee is chaired by individuals that are fluent in Arabic and French in addition to English.
(Virtual) Buddy Exchange Programme
The ISP Buddy Exchange Programme will enable reciprocal exchanges between ISP schools for a period of one month for students aged between 14 – 17 years of age. It is an experience that promises to offer students amazing and diverse learning opportunities within a safe and secure environment. Due to the current situation, students participate in an 8-week programme of weekly video calls of 45 minutes with a student from another ISP school.
The programme will deliver a unique international and cultural learning experience; enabling students to develop their language skills, share good practice and cultivate long-term friendships across the world.
University, Career Guidance & Future Choices
Career, college, social and emotional counseling services have been significantly expanded at NIS Dubai, and we will continue to open as many doors as possible for our Grade 12 students.
Through our partnerships with American University In Dubai (AUD), SAE Institute, American University of Sharjah (AUS), The University of Dubai (UD), Ajman University (AU) and Rochester Institute of Technology Dubai (RIT Dubai), we ensure our students are at the forefront of scholarship opportunities in every subject.
Student Council
A group of students from different grades is elected by peers to address issues, organize events and activities, as well as advocate for their peers. It allows students to demonstrate their creativity, develop critical thinking and team-building skills, explore their passions and work on their individual leadership styles.
