Who We Are
At NSRIC and NIST, disseminating knowledge is our core value.
The Ontario Education System, of which NIST is a part, believes that its moral purpose is to ensure that all children are educated to high intellectual levels. As twenty-first-century global citizens, we have inherited a world which demands proficiency in and adaptability to its dynamic nature, whether it would be mastery of high efficiency operating technological platforms or intricate webs of knowledge and information transferal. The bar has been set very high when it comes to understanding the world we live in. At NIST, we believe that the way forward is through change and adaptability, both of which can only come with the proper education, not only in terms of content but also in terms of the medium through which the content is delivered. Our intent, therefore, is to bring quality education to all our students. This includes support with technology to facilitate online participation.
Inclusive Education
At NIST, students are challenged to discover their God-given skills and talents in a team-centered environment. Teachers balance intellectual stimulation with skill development, teaching values for life beyond the online classroom. This approach allows our school to provide an inclusive education, which centers around all students. NIST uses a world-renowned approach of cultivating unique skill sets to provide a quality education and growth of critical qualities required for success. With an inclusive educational lens, the NIST community strives for excellence required to represent our school with integrity at all times.
How do we provide Inclusive Education?
The following six principles are key to achieving the vision for an inclusive education system. These principles can guide and inform value-based and learner-centered decisions related to policies, practices and actions at every level of the education system.
Six Principles
Anticipate, value and support diversity and learner differences
Welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments create a sense of belonging for all learners and their families.
Encourage high expectations for all learners
Creating a culture of high expectations begins with an accessible curriculum and meaningful and relevant learning experiences. Educators and families act on the idea that, with the right instructional support, every learner not only can, but will succeed.
Understand learners’ strengths and needs
Meaningful data is constantly gathered and shared at all levels of the system – by teachers, families, schools, school authorities and the Ministry of Education – to understand and respond to the strengths and needs of individual learners.
Remove barriers within learning environments
All education partners work together to remove barriers within the learning environment so that all learners are successful and can participate in the school community.
Build capacity
Government, school and school system leaders, teachers, education professionals, families and community partners have ongoing opportunities, relationships and resources that develop, strengthen, and renew their understanding, skills and abilities to create flexible and responsive learning environments. Capacity building takes place at the personal, school and system levels.
Collaborate for success
All education stakeholders, including school and system staff, families, community partners, post-secondary institutions, teacher preparation programs and government are committed to collaboration in supporting the success of all learners.
Learn From Industry Leaders
Our professionals and dedicated teams work ‘day and night’ to reach out to every child with quality education.
Our diverse and skilled educators, based on their expertise, are thoroughly proficient in effectively delivering the Ministry of Education’s mandate of required course learning outcomes, while also taking pedagogy to a new level by specializing in techniques which can confer the kind of technological know-how demanded by today’s global community. Our values are based on integrity, professionalism, transparency, and dedication.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Students learn at their own pace, specialized for optimal learning and growth.
Online classes offer the opportunity for faster learners to work at their own pace and slow learners to take the time to make sure they understand the material. NIST offers blended (pre-recorded video clips plus virtual sessions) course(s) offerings. This mode of communication will enhance the learning process of our students and audiences.
