Curriculum Philosophy

“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.”

 Albert Einstein
 

Our extensive study of the latest research in child development by renowned educationists and education psychologists viz. Carol Dweck, Angela Lee Duckworth, Anders Ericsson, John Hattie and many others has convinced us that children learn best when:

1. There is a nurturing atmosphere in the school.

2. They and adults around them believe in the growth of intelligence.

3. Students, teachers and their peers have high expectations from each other.

4. Right balance of challenge and support is given.

5. Opportunity for deliberate practice is provided.

6. Instruction is personalised to cater to the range of learning levels and styles in the classroom.

7. Constructive, detailed and timely feedback is provided.

8. Children are provided with experiences that help them construct meaning and link new knowledge with existing knowledge.

 

Curriculum of NS Public School goes beyond the printed textbooks, traditional mind-sets and confines of classrooms to deliver a learning experience that helps children gain knowledge, values, skills and creativity.
