Mission Statement
NIC English teaches critical and creative thinking as well as effective communication skills necessary for life and employment. We aim to prepare students to engage in the discourse of diverse perspectives and empower them to contribute to their families, communities, and nations in ways that benefit themselves and others through written and oral communication.
The faculty literally showed us a world beyond our own, opening our eyes to a new way of thinking and seeing. I am a better person because of my experiences at NIC.
