The NSHSS Partnership
The Institute for International Sport is proud to continue its partnership with the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). The NSHSS is an organization founded and chaired by Claes Nobel, a senior member of the Nobel family, and a passionate proponent of humanitarian and environmental causes. The Institute for International Sport shares in the mission and commitment NSHSS has made to recognize academic excellence and to encourage members to apply their unique talents, vision, and potential for the betterment of themselves and the world. As part of our partnership with NSHSS, and due to the academic and extra-curricular activity achievements of all NSHSS members, the Institute for International Sport will offer automatic acceptance for NSHSS members to the 2011 World Scholar-Athlete Games/World Youth Peace Summit.

UN Partnership
On May 24, 2006 a major press conference was held at the United Nations. In attendance at the press conference were delegations from many countries, as well as a large delegation of representatives from the Institute for International Sport. The press conference/ceremony served to announce a historic partnership between the Institute's acclaimed World Scholar-Athlete Games and the United Nations Sport for Development and Peace Initiative. Rhode Island Attorney General, Patrick Lynch, co-chair of the Rhode Island Executive Committee for the 2006 World Scholar-Athlete Games, opened the press conference by stating, "We are about to witness what I believe will be one of the greatest youth events in history, the World Scholar-Athlete Games. Today's press conference also launches a partnership that will forge literally hundreds of alliances as we move toward 2011, and the World Youth Peace Summit."

The NAIS mission is rooted in the core values of independence, interdependence, inclusivity, and innovation. This mission serves as a perfect complement to the World Scholar-Athlete Games program. Students enrolled in NAIS schools and who meet the eligibility requirements are granted priority to the World Scholar-Athlete Games.
