Academics

Life long learning is the corner stone of all the academic planning and activities at Nehru Public School, Ghaziabad. Teaching, learning and assessment are all intertwined and focus on learning in various settings, in and outside the classrooms. At Nehru Public School, there is a strong belief that learning takes place best when the learner discovers facts and ideas rather than being taught. This being the information era, and the highway to a revolution of knowledge is self - learning. To this end a lot of emphasis is placed on enquiry training across all stages in the school as well as across the curriculum. Our evaluation system is also broad based. We understand that examinations are not the only way to assess a student. Formative assessment is the norm. Assignments, projects, worksheets, presentations, collaborative activities, unit tests and end of term exams are the tools through which the performance of a student is analyzed. We at NPS continuously strive to experiment and innovate to provide a better learning environment.


Burden Free Education

Burden free schooling is a unique concept born of present day realities. In today's progressive societies, where both the parents are daily wage earners and often reach home only late in the evenings after a hard days grind, it is not possible for them to keep track of the work of their children. The school ensures that children take home the minimum load of work to enable the family to spend quality time together. This in turn will help parents bond more with their children and feel energized to provide the necessary support the children require. This will make learning a collaborative endeavor and the homework will reinforce learning besides providing pointers to the parents about the learning and teaching at the school.


Curricular Structure

Nehru Public School is affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi and follows a curriculum that focuses on integration of learning components. The curriculum is child oriented and emphasizes learning at individual pace. The emphasis here is not on the content but on the skills that a child needs to acquire. The Curriculum is a flexible blend of guided structures and the teacher's creative touch.


Teaching Methodology

Teaching at Nehru Public School, aims at concept and skill development rather than mere acquisition of knowledge. Our system makes the student central to the learning structure. They are supported by teachers and a strong peer group. Support from parents completes this idea. In this scheme of things, inquiry learning is the main goal, where in students discover concepts, explore concepts and apply them in the real world. This brings about collaboration between the teachers and students. Listening and presentation skills are developed among students to ensure holistic learning. Our methodologies include inspiring a competitive and challenging environment for youngsters, with a supportive base.

  -  To get rid of their pre-conceived notions of success and failure.
  -  To encourage the mastery of new skills and concepts to make learning more effective.
  -  To make learning value based, rather than text-book based.

Creativity is the cornerstone of teaching at Nehru Public School which ensures freedom to teachers and students to explore experiment and innovate. Be it Science, Mathematics, humanities or languages, the spirit of enquiry and zest for knowledge are evident from the way students deal with class room activities.

In an era of IT revolution, teaching cannot stay far behind. Teaching at the school is a fine blend of latest multimedia technology coupled with the quintessential creativity of the teachers. All subjects are taught with the help of regular visits to the computer lab which houses a LCD Projector and the latest configuration computers.

Each one of the teachers is skilled in the use of computers and latest electronic teaching aides. Web based assignments are part of regular academic activity.


Faculty

The School is just as good as the quality of teachers. NPS boasts of the finest set of facilitators who would make learning a joy and not a burden to be grudgingly carried. Each one of them is hand picked for their versatility and commitment. They are highly qualified and thoroughly trained. The special emphasis on their training has been in the area of creative teaching, mentoring and developing soft skills. Regular workshops ensure that the teachers always update their knowledge and skills in their subjects.


The Teaching Learning Committee

The teachers at NPS are life long learners. They realize that the knowledge is like an ocean and they know only a few drops of it. Which is why the Teaching learning committee of the school offers time bound learning activities for teachers to help them in upgrading their skills and enhancing their know how in the subjects of their choice. Staff lectures are an occasion for sharing the stories of difficulty and success in their attempts at innovative practices. Each one of the teachers identifies an area for continuous professional development.
