Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam (NAISR), formerly the American International School of Rotterdam, is an international school in Hillegersberg, Netherlands, an area of Rotterdam. The school educates students from 3 to 18 years of age and has three academic areas: Early Years, Primary School and Secondary School.
NAISR (previously American International School of Rotterdam) was founded in 1959 to educate the post-war growth of American families brought to the area by the U.S. military and international business.[1] [2] Over the following fifty years, the military presence in the area declined and the school has focused on becoming a more internationally minded school catering for a much more culturally-diverse population.[3] [4]
It was acquired by Nord Anglia Education in 2018.[5] [6]
NAISR is a member of the Northwest European Council of International Schools (NECIS) and is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Council of International Schools (CIS). NAISR is also an IB World School.[7]
