Few things have greater importance to parents than the education of their children. Every parent looks for academic excellence, good values, and discipline for their children. Choosing the right school for them is therefore a crucial decision.
NPS provides high standards for educational excellence to their students. We stimulate creativity and develop problem-solving capability in each student. As a family oriented school, we believe that partnership between the family and school is the foundation of a student’s fulfillment and success in later life.
All the dynamic institutions in the world today look forward to introducing and affecting a creative approach in educational curriculum. Teachers play a major role in implementing and supporting the students to gain competence in their efforts.
Our objective at NPS is to provide a happy, balanced and challenging environment where our students have the opportunity to fulfill their individual talents and goals. In parallel, we provide a wide range of cultural, sporting and co-curricular activities and a chance to exercise leadership in a sensible and respectful environment.

Message from our Dean
Education has a multifaceted function. The transformation from childhood to adulthood is an important one. Education has a major role to play in this process.
In Swami Vivekananda’s words, “Education is not the amount of information that is put in to your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We want that education, by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, intellect is expanded and by which we can stand on one’s own feet.”
In addition to acquisition of knowledge, education should aim at physical, mental and spiritual development. There should be opportunity for character formation and personality development.
The training one gets from schools and colleges should include academic excellence – professional, scientific and technological – attainment of life skills and vocational efficiency. The training should also help to manifest innate potentialities making use of opportunities and staying alert.
Progress of a country depends on its education system. In this era of globalization it is necessary to understand economic, social and political aspects of all the countries. Practicing brotherhood, love and compassion between different communities, races and nations is of utmost importance. The emphasis on developing patriotism and pride in one’s culture is indispensable.
Daniel Webster put it rightly “Knowledge does not comprise all which is contained in the large term of education. The feelings are to be disciplined, the passions are to be restrained; true and worthy motives are to be inspired, a profound religious feeling is to be instilled and pure morality inculcated under all circumstances. All this is comprised in education.”
Education in its true sense leads to health and fitness, happy relationships, meaningful work and personal fulfilment.
We at NPS try to promote an atmosphere where education is a blend of progressive ideas from the best in the Indian setting and culture. Students are given personal care and support so that they take the right place in the Global society.

Education is the bridge between knowledge and empowerment, guiding blossoming minds to take charge of their growth and future. It is through this transformative journey that we nurture thinkers, innovators, and future leaders bringing about meaningful change.
The Core of Education: Knowledge and Empowerment
Knowledge and empowerment are the two sides of the same coin-Education.
Education is not solely a process of generating and acquiring information but a profound journey of internalizing knowledge through an internal dialogue which necessarily should unfollow the didactic path.
The journey of education when facilitated in an environment that enables the learner to understand and comprehend the concepts, principles, and ideas, through enriching and value-adding experiences, ultimately equips students to think critically and creatively. This robust internalization of knowledge forms the foundation upon which individuals build their abilities to navigate the complexities of the world.
While acquiring knowledge is quintessential, the true purpose of education extends far beyond the realms that can even be fathomed. The transformative power of education lies in enabling the learners to shape their character, satiate their ignited curiosity, and empower them to realize their full potential. Education by breaking barriers, fosters innovation, meeting at the crossroads of discovery, and creating a more fair and equitable society. Equipping future generations with the tools to navigate and shape an ever-evolving world, empowering them to innovate aids them in solving complex challenges, and building a sustainable future by nurturing critical thinking and a love for learning is just the beginning.
Empowerment being the other side of the coin, imperatively follows the acquisition of knowledge equipping future generations with the confidence and agency to make informed decisions and take meaningful actions. By harnessing this power, they are empowered to become able leaders, synergistic change-makers, and creative architects of a better tomorrow. The transformative nature of education is laid to the test when its acquirers are juxtaposed with real-world scenarios. This empowerment drives progress, and fosters innovation, crafting a society rooted in equality and collective growth.
In totality, the core of education lies in the dynamic interplay between knowledge and empowerment; it is our collective responsibility to actively engage in and support this transformative process for the benefit of every individual and society as a whole.
