NIS is one of 20 schools in Japan with either WASC, CIS, or ACSI accreditation that are recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology-Japan (MEXT). Students graduating from these schools are eligible to be considered for enrollment in Japanese universities. However, each university has different admissions guidelines and policies, which does not automatically result in eligibility. As the curriculum at NIS is taught in English, enrollment into NIS is not recommended for students who wish to enroll in universities in Japan that are Japanese-language based degree programs.
