Teachers are from various countries, as are the students.
The school tries to inculcate in the minds of the students a sense of international understanding, respecting and recognizing various cultural backgrounds, tolerance and developing a 'global feeling'. We strongly believe that education is the birth right of all children, irrespective of nationality, color, caste or creed. The school does not put emphasis on any particular religion. We teach children to respect and honor all religions and encourage them to love, respect and care for one another. Nehru Memorial International School celebrates various functions and festivals in coordination with the members of the community, including parents.
