Norwich International School
Opened in August of 2014 Norwich and has established itself as a leading school in the community. With its comprehensive facilities and dedicated staff Norwich has grown from a brand-new school to one supporting over 250 children.
We are in the final planing stages for the building of our sports center and moving forward to the final part of our development plan as a combined British and IB curriculum school with full facilities for all age groups
A great place to see Norwich is to visit our website and Facebook page and familiarise yourself with the atmosphere and ethos of the school. You will also notice within the pages of the site the school’s close attachment to practices of Mindfulness and Thai Buddhism. An understanding and interest in these disciplines is essential for students and staff alike.
The school also recognises the steady influence of China in this part of the globe and since 2016 has included Mandarin lessons for all students.
