The Global Citizen Diploma is  NIS Graduation Requirement. Students must share 10 stories of their choice that document their Global Citizen journey.

The GCD is a platform for students to showcase who they are behind the books and numbers.

By presenting at the G9 Launch, a student could achieve the element Public Communication and one other if they choose. For example, a student could talk about how he traversed the Gobi Desert on foot (Wilderness Engagement) and because he is speaking to an audience of more than 20 people, it also counts as Public Communication.

If you are interested in taking out two birds with one stone, please contact hoyunlee@nanjing-school.com .

NIS Student Community Bank empowers each student to develop their capabilities to become productive investors in the NSCB. We provide financial support to students in Grades 6 to 12 who need some money to start their student-led activity or Service as Action and/or Grade 10 Business projects. 

All NIS students are eligible to apply for financial assistance. You could ask for:

1) a loan which must be repaid or

2) if you qualify you may be awarded a Grant for a Good Cause.
