Operations are supported by the MyClassboard platform for parent engagement and academic planning.

NIS operates as a Private Unaided Minority institution under a charitable trust structure with no external funding rounds or institutional investment. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition fees across grade levels, plus a one-time admission processing fee of Rs 2,360 (inclusive of 18% GST). The school is governed by a School Board and an Advisory Council of prominent figures, and targets premium and mid-market families seeking international education in the Mumbai metropolitan region.
