Nissi Academy International is a private educational institution located in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines. Founded in 1998 as Nissi Educational Foundation Inc. and renamed in 2000, the school operates with a Christian-based philosophy focused on developing 'Leaders of Character & Values.' The institution emphasizes holistic education that integrates academic excellence with moral and spiritual development, aiming to equip students with 21st-century lifelong skills for global competitiveness. Its mission centers on guiding children along 'the path of life,' while its vision is to nurture God-fearing individuals of integrity and leadership. The school's core values—Nurture, Integrity, Strive, Sincerity, and Invigorate—reflect a commitment to spiritual growth, family values, community involvement, academic sincerity, and national pride. Nissi Academy serves students from preschool through senior high school, with plans to extend to college, and is led by a team of educators and administrators including principals for each school level and directors for student affairs, campus administration, and finance. The founders, a pastoral couple, established the school to provide a God-centered education that instills character and values regardless of religious background, inspired by their earlier work with orphaned and abused children. The name 'Nissi' derives from Hebrew, meaning 'the Lord our banner.'
