NICS/OASIS State of the Mission
Historical Perspective
NICS operated as “Liberty Mission of Korea” from 1983 until 1990. Since its
incorporation in 1991, NICS/OASIS has experienced tremendous growth. The network
has included 28 schools, five of which are no longer with the organization (Bangkok,
Pasadena, Vienna, Buenos Aires, Kumasi, Suriname, and Rio) and two which were
closed (Germany, TDC), bringing the present number of schools to 19, located in 15
different countries.
Following is the numerical growth chart (enrollment) of NICS/OASIS schools
since the inception of the first school in 1983:
Present Enrollment - 4319
Note the 2002-2004 declines in enrollment represent the restructuring time during
which we lost four schools. The school-by-school growth charts follow:
NOTE: Enrollment typically peaks in March; this chart is current as of December 2013.

ASIA
Uijongbu, Korea: 175
ICS, Uijongbu, Korea
Established in 1983
Current Enrollment: 175
Annual Budget: $2,445,382
School Website:
http://ics-ujb.org/
President’s Summary: Uijongbu –
Enrollment is basically stable though slowly decreasing. Lack of adequate land and
sports facilities (as compared to competitor schools) continues to hurt enrollment. The
Director is downsizing staff positions as the school decreases in size.
Seoul, Korea: 959
4
YISS, Seoul, Korea
Established in 1990
Current Enrollment: 959
Annual Budget:
$21,179,515
School Website:
http://www.yisseoul.org/
President’s Summary: Seoul – Construction is completed which now extends capacity
to around 1200.
Pyeongtaek, Korea: 112
ICS, Pyeongtaek, Korea
Established in 1990
Current Enrollment: 112
Annual Budget: $1,103,659
School Website:
http://www.icsptk.org/
President’s Summary: Pyeongtaek –Enrollment continues a slow decline as the U.S.
military has built DoDDs schools in the area. Facilities are adequate for current
5
enrollment, but the lack of sports facilities is notable. Pyeongtaek has been designated by
the Korean government as a “city of the future;” this may open up new possibilities for
the school regarding the campus. The school received full registration from the
government and now must purchase surrounding land for playground and gymnasium
space.
Bandung, Indonesia: 195
BAIS, Bandung, Indonesia
Established in 1956;
NICS managed since 1995
Current Enrollment: 195
Annual Budget: $1,733,709
School Website:
http://www.baisedu.org
President’s Summary: Bandung – The new campus has been wonderful, but the
inability to complete the remainder of the needed facilities hinders enrollment due to
competition with better facilities. Enrollment is stable. The school is now operating on a
balanced budget and is debt-free. Failure to receive approval for a bank loan that would
have allowed the campus facilities to be expanded was a definite set-back.
6
Batam, Indonesia: 30
Batam Island International
Student Learning Center
BIIS, Batam, Indonesia
Established in 2012
Current Enrollment: 30
Annual Budget: $172,973
President’s Summary: Batam – The start of this new project was almost exactly as
projected with 21 students the first year and 30 now. The facility is ideal for the school
size as a temporary location on the private property of an American corporation, which
recently added two additional classrooms. The process is now initiated to register the
school properly so it can be called “school” under a registered foundation (yayasan) in
Indonesia. The facility is purpose-built and adequate, but the location is a good ways
from the population center of Batam. The Director is working closely with a potential
developer regarding the build-out of a purpose-built campus.
7
Singapore: 420
ICS, Singapore
Established in 1993;
NICS managed since 1995
Current Enrollment: : 420
Annual Budget: $6,990,880
School’s Website:
http://www.ics.edu.sg
President’s Summary: Singapore – The capacity of the facility is almost 500 students;
larger/better facilities are needed. The school continues exploring every possibility of
relocation to larger facilities. Competition in Singapore is very heavy.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 35
8
KL Project
Established in 2012
President’s Summary: Kuala Lumpur – While awaiting a school permit from
Malaysia’s Ministry of Education, we have a setup team on the ground, interviewing
potential students, looking for potential sites, working with potential developers/funders,
etc. The government now requires a signed contract for a purpose-built campus for a
minimum of 500 students before granting a school permit.
China: 264
China
Established in 1994;
Oasis managed since 1999
Current Enrollment: 264
Annual Budget: $3,121,518
9
President’s Summary: China – Enrollment has decreased for no obvious reason; and
the facility owner has issued a new 5-year lease, after which the school must relocate.
School leadership continues to search for a more permanent location. A high percentage
of enrollment are the children of NGO workers in the area, which means that tuition
assistance is quite hefty and finances are somewhat limited, resulting in challenges
regarding pay, benefits, etc., for staff.
Nagoya, Japan: 101
ICAN, Nagoya, Japan
Established in 1998;
NICS managed since 2000
Current Enrollment: 101
Annual Budget: $1,155,364
School Website:
http://www.icanjapan.org/
Established in 1998; NICS managed since 20Current
Enrollment
President’s Summary: Nagoya – Enrollment has significantly dropped this year, mostly
due to students moving away. The school uses four different buildings. New facility
needed to accommodate a combined student body and sports needs, but property in Japan
is incredibly expensive.
10
SOUTH AMERICA
Belem, Brazil: 104
AVA, Belem, Brazil
Established in 1958;
NICS managed since 1997
Current Enrollment: 104
Annual Budget: $824,127
School Website:
http://www.avabrazil.org/
President’s Summary: Belem – The school is drawing “international” type Brazilians so
enrollment continues to reflect a larger Brazilian constituency. Brazilian accreditation is
being considered for that reason. Overall, enrollment is declining somewhat, causing
serious financial problems as the school was previously barely breaking even. The new
facility provided for the school is 80% complete. A permanent director was placed in
Belem in December 2012 after many years of seeking a qualified person. We are keeping
a close watch on the financial struggles of the school and considering the sustainability
issues, as well as having dialogue with key players regarding another group managing the
school.
11
Brasilia, Brazil: 117
BIS, Brasilia, Brazil
Established in 1999
Current Enrollment: 117
Annual Budget:
$1,937,687
School Website:
http://www.bischool.com.br
President’s Summary: Brasilia – The school’s facility is good and will allow for much
growth. Embassy staffs have started returning to Brasilia and enrollment is picking up.
Lima, Peru: 176
12
ICS, Lima, Peru
Established in 2001
Current Enrollment: 176
Annual Budget: $1,960,139
School Website:
http://www.icslima.org/
President’s Summary: Lima – Enrollment has consistently increased and is now stable
at near-capacity for the present building, Union Church. The school is seeking a new,
purpose-built larger facility/campus.
La Paz, Bolivia: 213
HIS, La Paz, Bolivia
Established in 2002;
NICS managed since 2003
Current Enrollment: 213
Annual Budget: $599,249
School Website:
http://www.highlandsinternational.org
President’s Summary: La Paz – Growing student enrollment; the school needs to build
new facilities on the property we now own. Government issues continue to be a
challenge with threats of closure coming from time to time.
13
Caracas, Venezuela: 85
ICS, Caracas, Venezuela
Established in 1990;
NICS managed since 2006
Current Enrollment: 85
Annual Budget: $485,267
School Website:
http://www.icscaracas.com/
President’s Summary: Caracas – Political situation in Venezuela continues to have a
negative effect on the expatriate population, which is decreasing in Caracas. This has
affected all international schools in Venezuela, including ICS, although the school’s
enrollment is maintaining status quo. The school still struggles financially and currency
inconsistencies contribute to the financial challenges.
14
MIDDLE EAST/CENTRAL ASIA
Middle East: 238
Middle East
Established in 2004
Current Enrollment: 238
Annual Budget: $2,727,137
President’s Summary: Middle East – Strong enrollment has stabilized the school
financially, resulting in mostly-salaried positions, benefits, etc. The school is
experiencing growth in reputation. Facilities are almost totally maxed out at this time.
Growth is limited until a larger facility is found.
Central Asia: 366
15
Central Asia
Established in 2003
Current Enrollment: 366
Annual Budget: $3,405,559
President’s Summary: Central Asia – The original US AID grant ended for Oasis;
however, US AID continues to support the school through scholarships for local students,
although funds are decreasing. The school is going through a difficult transition to a selfsustaining model. The critical issues continue to be funding and security; both of these
issues relate in some way to the present location. The government is now offering gifted
property for the school to build on! This will increase security while decreasing rental
costs. Security continues to be a major issue in regard to our staff and students.
AFRICA
Nairobi, Kenya: 254
16
WNS, Nairobi, Kenya
Established in 1996;
NICS managed since 2003
Current Enrollment: 254
Annual Budget: $1,937,687
School Website:
http://www.westnairobischool.org/
President’s Summary: Nairobi – Healthy growth in student population; wonderful
campus; need to complete the purchase of the campus from SIL; campus could
accommodate up to 300 students. A self-funded building program to greatly improve the
campus is underway.
Accra, Ghana: 197
The American International School (AIS)
Established in 2006
Current Enrollment: 197
Annual Budget: $1,653,859
School Website:
http://www.aisaccra.org/
President’s Summary: Accra – AIS has established itself as a strong alternative to other
educational choices for the expatriate community in Accra. The school, even in limited
facilities, continues to grow. Two years ago land was purchased and plans are being
developed for the construction of a new campus. The school experienced a hostile
takeover attempt last year which had negative effects on school enrollment, which has
17
now stabilized. Related legal matters are still unresolved in the Ghanaian courts. The
staff is doing an amazing job, especially considering the actions of their previous leader
and the continued actions of an individual who is trying to take over the school.
NorthStar Academy (on-line): FTE: 278
Total: 805
NorthStar Academy
Current Enrollment: FTE 278
Total: 805
Annual Budget: $1,034,187
School Website:
www.northstar-academy.org
President’s Summary: NorthStar Academy –
NSA is experiencing its best year ever in regard to enrollment, an amazing turnaround
from last year. The loan from the local bank has been paid off in full, as has the loan
from another network school. NSA’s only debt now is to the SEED Fund.

Major Set-backs/Challenges
1. US AID financial support for the school in Central Asia institutionally has
now ceased. Instead, in line with a current emphasis to support local citizens,
US AID is providing partial scholarships for many students of ISK. These
decreasing funds make the future of the school challenging financially, as the
20

local economy has not improved enough to allow most of the students to pay
our actual cost of running the school. The school is implementing relocation
plans which will help alleviate major costs related to rental properties, and
increase security measures while reducing costs; while land has been made
available, funds for construction are not. Major cuts in salaries and other
budgeted items have helped with the financial gaps, and US AID has
recommitted to providing some scholarships for local students, but there is
still great financial stress. We continue to move to a more sustainable
financial model, but it may require downsizing.
The influence in South America of socialism has led to a serious situation
with private education in general. Some countries are de-privatizing
education in general. We have issues for concern in: La Paz and Caracas
related to government socialization.
Five schools are seemingly in a declining growth pattern: ICS (Pyeongtaek),
ICS (Uijongbu), AVA (Belem), and KIA (China), ICAN (Japan). We believe
Pyeongtaek could reverse the pattern as Korea’s government again
implements its plans for the development of the city. We have to watch
Uijongbu closely, realizing that either we must develop the UJB school to be
more competitive facility-wise with neighboring schools, or accept its decline.
Belem is not a typical city for a NICS school, but the new campus may attract
new students; we have to know how “Brazilian” we will allow the school to
become enrollment-wise, or consider transitioning the school to another
agency. China experienced a drop of 50 students this year for no obvious
reason. Japan’s drop in enrollment of 30 students was also unexpected. We
must keep a watchful eye on all these situations in regard to budgeting
adjustments, etc.
One school (Accra) is in a crisis mode due to a hostile takeover attempt by an
individual who is now claiming to be the Founder, who conspired with the
NICS Director, with intent to take over the school and end the relationship
with NICS. The issue is now being heard before Ghanaian courts to
determine the outcome. The situation has been chaotic, disruptive, and much
damage has been done. The two individuals involved have already broken up
their “alliance” with each other and the former NICS Director is forming his
own school. The other individual continues to fight to gain control of AIS
from NICS.
One school (Rio) was successfully taken from the network by the NICS
Director. Due to a court ruling which made this individual the controller of
the school until legal matters are settled, we made the decision not to fight in
court and simply to allow him to take all responsibility for the school. We did
this because of uncertainty as to what debt would be owed if and when we
were to regain control of the school at some point.
Major Overall Accomplishments
1. The two newest projects (KL & Batam) are progressing quite nicely, although KL
is not breaking even budgetarily.
2. While the court system in Ghana is terribly time-consuming, the school and staff
continue to operate under NICS leadership with a strong program. We are very
hopeful in regard to a favorable court ruling.
21
3. The NICS/Oasis Child Safety and Protection plan has now been launched, after
much work was done on this project.
4. Major (downward) adjustments in the home office budget were successfully
implemented due to approximately $500,000 loss of income from Accra and Rio.
5. We have successfully established a School Contingency Loan Fund.
6. We now have minimal budgeted funds for the SEED Fund.
7. Home Office restructuring now establishes a Department for New Projects; the
Marketing/Recruiting Office has been combined and separated from the HR
Department.
8. A plan for better protecting the network from schools or leaders leaving has been
established (presented to the board separately)
9. A leadership succession plan is being prepared (presented to the board separately)
10. CARE Foundation is progressing well. (Current balance over $2 million)
11. The Kumasi (Ghana) case was closed, and we received a positive judgment that
all loaned funds and debts must be repaid by ICSK to NICS.
Major School Accomplishments
A. Major School Advances:
1. Six schools/projects are experiencing growth: Seoul, Batam, KL, Brasilia, La
Paz, and NorthStar.
2. NorthStar Academy has paid off loans to the local bank and a sister school.
3. BAIS has paid off all loans and back taxes so as to be debt-free.
4. YISS has completed major campus expansion.
5. PICS has paid off their building.
B. Healthy growth in enrollment and income throughout the network:

C. Expansion
Potential Projects continue to come our way: Myanmar, England, Nigeria, Liberia,
Mexico.
Note: We are trying to expand with projects that do not demand large NICS
financial investment.
D. Academic advancement as measured primarily by accreditation

Major Challenges
1. SEED Funds are greatly needed by existing schools as well as new projects.
We also are exploring other potential models of funding with developers, etc.
2. Reserve funds (contingency) are needed to cover potential ownership
liabilities inherent with our schools.
3. Adequate numbers of qualified, loyal field leader candidates.
4. Adequate numbers of qualified teacher candidates to meet our network
demand. (around 200 positions to fill this year)
5. Security issues at the Central Asia school.
Present Status of NICS/OASIS Schools:

Observable Trends to Watch:
1. Security continues to be a major issue. We have schools in some vulnerable
places in the world, and safety of students and staff is a major challenge.
2. There is a clear trend toward potential projects in “creative-access” countries.
3. Growth of our students in all areas.
4. Staff longevity increasing over time.
5. The potential for new schools continues to grow—both existing schools as
well as new school projects.
6. Legal issues must be considered, especially in Africa and South American
schools, as lawsuits are so commonly practiced.
7. The for-profit business world is entering into the field of international schools
in a big way and capital-rich.
Goals from Previous Year
1. See the stabilization of the Accra school and help bring the legal matters to a
positive conclusion. Make sure the legal documents of every school are kept
current and protect the agency to the greatest possible extent. (This will be
assigned to Dennis Lugar.) Results: AIS is now stable, although somewhat
smaller, with NICS in control. The court is still in the process of making a
final decision regarding ownership. A major initiative is underway to review
the paperwork/registration, etc., of all schools.
2. Finish the interior of Bldg #1 for offices and training rooms. Needed funds
for this are approximately $400,000. Results: Due to the situations with
Accra and Rio, $500,000 had to be cut from the budget; we decided to wait on
finishing this project as a matter of risk management.
3. Establish a School Contingency Loan Fund to be used for existing schools that
relapse into negative financial situations. Results: This fund has been
established but will take some time to grow to be adequate.
4. Track and look for solutions to making NorthStar more sustainable and
expansive. Results: NSA has grown by 30% so far this year and is in a
much-improved financial status.
This Year’s Projections/Goals/Priorities
1. Make a master plan to strengthen and protect the network from schools or
leaders leaving in a disruptive way. This will be presented to the board at the
Feb. 14 annual board meeting.
2. Work closely with the board to establish a leadership succession plan to
prepare the network for leadership transition in the future.
3. Explore creative funding for new and existing projects.
4. Mobilize the executive team to spend more time on school campuses, working
with field leadership teams and directors.
5. Increase communications throughout the network to: staff, parental
communities, DAC, etc.
6. Promote “network strength” at a much greater level than in years past.
7. Move toward a more collaborative network leadership.
