About NISL
We have provided Dutch education for over 40 years in Lagos, Nigeria. The international character of the school has been reinforced at the start of the 2010-2011 school year by the introduction of an English international stream. The board consists of parents and representatives of companies operating in Nigeria.
Schools offering Dutch education in foreign countries operate under special conditions. Both the school role and the teachers tend to change more frequently than schools in the Netherlands. Additionally, the cultural mission of the school is of great importance. Many children will return to the Netherlands or Belgium to continue their education and a seamless transition back into schools in the Netherlands is therefore part of the mission statement of schools affiliated to 'Stichting NOB. Parents who place their children in a Dutch school while in a foreign country have consciously opted for Dutch as their mother tongue and wish to maintain a special emotional and cultural bond with the Netherlands. Our school has an important task as a center of Dutch language and culture in an international setting.
