Core Values Every day each one of us makes choices based on options – often conflicting options – that we have. It's simple enough to say, "Just do the right thing". The question is: how do we know what is right? One's core values are what determine that right answer. Two important conclusions can be drawn from this thought process. First, a clear understanding of the individual's core values and steadfast adherence to these is critical. And second, the core values of the individual should be aligned with those of the community of which the individual chooses to be a part. The Nixor community believes in unquestionable ethics, unconditional respect for teachers, courage in our actions and pursuit of academic excellence. This institution's vision, our mission and our likelihood of success is built on our commitment to these values. The Vision Educational institutions should have a bigger, more direct impact on the well-being of a society than has been the case in Pakistan. Nixor College will change the expectations Pakistan has from its leading educational institutions. Educational institutions have the responsibility of preparing our youth to make a positive impact on their own futures and on that of the groups to which they belong – be it their families, their friends, or their nation. Clearly, personal academic achievement is of vital importance, but many other factors are equally important to groom leaders who drive positive change. By providing the most talented faculty, combined with peer-to-peer on-campus tutoring, Nixor College has transformed the rampant private tuition culture. The after-school hours freed up, as a result, are dedicated to activities and programs that help sharpen the students' leadership skills. The Mission Nixor's mission is clear – introduce sound leaders every year into Pakistani society who are ready, willing, and able to make a huge positive impact on the lives they touch.
