National University of Lesotho International School

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, long time 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.
