Early Years – Kindergarten

Kindergarten

Children begin their Kindergarten journey at age 4 and spend two transformative years preparing for Class 1.

Known as the "Foundation Years," this period is vital for fostering growth in all aspects of a child's development—physical, emotional, intellectual, and social. These years lay the groundwork for lifelong learning and personal growth. Through creative play, self-expression, physical activity, and social interaction, children are introduced to early numeracy and literacy skills, building a strong foundation for their future education.

Our Kindergarten curriculum is thoughtfully designed to nurture the whole child. It offers a harmonious blend of teacher-guided instruction and child-led exploration. This approach ignites a love for learning, encouraging curiosity and a passion for discovery that endures throughout their lives.

Our evaluation system is built on a foundation of continuous, informal assessments, incorporating classroom activities, theme-based worksheets, and observational insights. With a focus on individualized attention, we maintain a balanced teacher-student ratio, complemented by a team of well-trained, compassionate, and supportive staff members.

Primary Years

Our Primary School curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be integrated and interdisciplinary, ensuring a holistic and engaging learning experience. We emphasize activity-based teaching, hands-on learning, and a variety of co-curricular activities to nurture curiosity and creativity.

By blending rigorous academics with creative arts, our approach actively engages students physically, cognitively, and emotionally. As they progress, students are gradually introduced to interconnected knowledge streams, with a strong focus on building their proficiency in English, Mathematics, General Science, and Social Studies.

Our curriculum maintains a harmonious balance between academic rigor and non-academic pursuits. To promote a learner-centered approach, we incorporate inquiry-based learning in Science and emphasize the writing process in English, encouraging critical thinking and effective communication.

Primary Years
Middle Years

Middle Years

The Middle Years, encompassing Grades 6 to 8, mark a pivotal phase in a student’s educational journey. This is a time of exploration, growth, and self-discovery, as students delve deeper into academic disciplines while shaping their unique identities and perspectives. We provide a supportive environment that facilitates a seamless transition from the primary years and equips students to embrace new challenges and broaden their intellectual horizons.

During these formative years, students develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, deductive reasoning, and the ability to generalize concepts. These competencies form a strong foundation for mastering core subjects, including English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, and additional languages like Kannada. Our curriculum encourages students to think independently, connect ideas across disciplines, and approach learning with curiosity and confidence.

Students actively engage in inter-house and inter-school events, as well as a wide variety of extracurricular activities offered by the school. These opportunities enable them to explore new interests, uncover hidden talents, and develop skills beyond academics.

The Middle Years at NPS OMR serve as a dynamic platform for intellectual exploration, personal growth, and the discovery of individual potential. This phase empowers students to embrace challenges, pursue passions, and build a well-rounded foundation for future success.

Secondary and Senior Years

In the Secondary and Senior Years, students are prepared to soar to greater heights, equipped with the skills and opportunities to realize their full potential. This phase emphasizes the development of essential abilities such as leadership, communication, presentation, teamwork, social interaction, organization, and more. Through a balanced mix of academic and co-curricular activities, students are encouraged to refine their talents and broaden their horizons.

As they progress, students are guided to become independent learners, taking ownership of their education and setting personal academic goals. With consistent mentorship and regular evaluations, they build the discipline, confidence, and resilience needed to tackle challenges. This transformative phase empowers them to grow into self-assured, courageous young individuals ready to embrace the future.

Secondary and Senior Years

Every day is an exciting adventure for our curious and eager young learners. Students are given meaningful opportunities to take on substantial roles both within and beyond the school environment. From planning and organizing events to actively representing their school in various competitions and activities, they learn responsibility and teamwork. Additionally, students are encouraged to mentor and guide their juniors, leaving behind a legacy that inspires future generations.

The curriculum for Grades 9 and 10 is designed to foster comprehensive learning and critical thinking. Core subjects include English, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Sanskrit/Hindi/French, alongside Environmental Education, Physical Education, Yoga, Work Education, and Visual and Performing Arts. Learning is enriched through hands-on experiments, collaborative analytical models, inquiry-based assignments, and interactive study sessions, cultivating a deep appreciation for every subject.
