Sports
Sport is for everyone at NAIS Manila. Alongside traditional team and individual activities like football, basketball, rugby, and badminton, we offer something a bit different, including ice-skating and Taekwondo. This gives everyone the chance to get active, train, compete, and boost their physical and mental health.
