The National University of Lesotho International School (NULIS) is part of the National University of Lesotho and is situated on its campus.
Established in the early 1960s, the school offers Primary School Leaving Examination from grade 1 up to grade 7. Then it offers IGCSE from grade 8 to grade 11. The school's international status is recognized by bodies in Africa and Europe, and despite tremendous difficulties it strives to live up to these standards.
NULIS has been moulded into the institution it is today under the headship of Roshan S. Fitter, longtime principal of the school. Her efforts in maintaining the school's standards have, over the years, been supplemented by long-term serving deputy-head teacher's A. M. Makara and M. Ramaili. Under Ms. Fitter's leadership, the school saw its expansion from a small campus elementary school to a full scale primary and secondary school, that has consistently been ranked among the best in Lesotho. Over the last few years, every senior graduating class has produced students who have ranked among the best of the nation - notably in 1998 and 2000 when almost a third of the graduating class placed in the top ten list of best performance in the nation overall, including 2nd and 3rd place.

Famous quotes containing the words national, university and/or school:
“A good man will not engage even in a national cause, without examining the justice of it.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.”
—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, II, ch.3 (1985)
