Facilities

Our sprawling campus is one of the best assets of the NIS. Conveniently located between two main thoroughfares, when one enters the campus; the hustle and bustle of city noise melt away, allowing children to play and flourish in peaceful, calm surroundings. The school has the feeling of an open green oasis and children can enjoy playing under the shade of the big, beautiful trees that dot the campus.

The sports facilities are excellent and are often used by other schools and organizations. There is a big football field, indoor and outdoor basketball courts two swimming pools and a large air-conditioned gymnasium. A former class room is set up as a ballet/aerobics fitness room. Four tennis courts can be found directly behind the school premises.

Each Saturday morning enthusiastic children, and their parents, can be seen enjoying a good game of football there. Other schools use the NIS field for their training sessions as well.

Due to the tropical climate in Jakarta, sports can be played outdoors all year round. The big trees cast shadows over the field, so the temperature never gets too balmy. During the rainy season all outdoor activities can be conducted in our large, air-conditioned gymnasium.

Gymnasium/Auditorium/Theatre

There is a large air-conditioned gymnasium, supplied with a large variety of gymnastic equipment and fitted with marks on the floor for all the usual ball games.
