Curriculum Guide

Primary Years Programme

Holistic approach to a student's study life

Our primary school students acquire skills and primary knowledge from a holistically curated curriculum that is drawn from the Cambridge curriculum.

The primary years at NPSI, from Grades 1 to 5, offer a broad-based approach towards academics. Students are engaged in experiential learning through a variety of resources in order to develop appropriate skill and gain necessary knowledge.
Our class sizes are an average of 25 students ensuring individualised attention and support to each child. Students are also exposed to art, music, drama, physical education and yoga through additional curricular offerings.

Learning Support

NPS International School is an inclusive mainstream learning environment where every child is valued and supported to achieve their potential. We believe that each child is entitled to a curriculum that recognises their individual strengths, needs and stage of development.

Most students’ learning needs can be met within the mainstream classroom through high-quality teaching, effective differentiation and appropriate classroom strategies. Class teachers play a key role in identifying and responding to individual learning needs, ensuring that students remain engaged and included in their everyday learning.

When some students may require additional support, targeted intervention or appropriate curriculum adjustments. The Learning Support Team works closely with class teachers to identify barriers to learning, develop effective strategies and provide the right level of support. Where appropriate, collaboration may also involve the school’s Counsellors.

Support will be provided within the classroom, through small-group intervention or, where necessary, individually. Provision is reviewed regularly to ensure that support remains appropriate and enables students to make progress.

Our approach is centred on developing confident, resilient and independent learners. Support and scaffolding are carefully planned and gradually reduced as students develop the skills, strategies and confidence to manage their learning independently and flourish within the mainstream environment.

MESSAGE

From the Principal’s Desk

We are witnessing an onslaught of changing trends in society, values, family life and of course in education. The challenge before us today is to mould students into caring and creative human beings. A system of education which is holistic, complete and gives sufficient scope for thinking, creativity and originality is absolutely necessary.

NPS International School delivers an international programme that is second to none offering exciting possibilities in a regularly upgraded campus, a faculty rich in talent and experience in grooming young lives and systems honed over six decades by the Group of schools.
Our expectations are high, not only from our students but from our staff as well. All-round education offered by the school in the classroom, the playgrounds and the campus in many ways encapsulates a training that has all the richness and flavour of a global educational approach.
I feel great joy and pride in the accomplishments of our students and faculty over the past decade. The alumni of our school bear testimony to the fact that each and every teacher has played her role to the fullest.

Despite the blitzkrieg of media attention on seemingly irrelevant matters, quality shines through in every sphere of our school life and that is our true achievement.

VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Real stories from parents and alumni who’ve experienced the NPSI difference, where care and growth come together.

“At NPSI, the teachers are very experienced and well-educated. They have a good understanding of the skillsets that students require, and they share their expertise with the students, developing their skillsets over time and preparing them as future industry participants.”

“My English isn’t very good, and when I first arrived at NPSI it was very tough. I couldn’t understand the concepts being taught or the language my classmates were speaking, but my teachers are very kind and helpful. They help us with extra lessons and are very thoughtful. Whenever they think I don’t understand, they ask me if I do and help me with the concept.”!

“NPSI teachers are very nice and teach very well. They are often very helpful, they give extra classes and advice to help you achieve a good career in the future. The teachers are very professional.”

“NPSI is a holistic school as it provides not only curriculum-based education, but also opportunities for children to be actively engaged and achieve in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. It offers a broad horizon of activities that children can take part in, ensuring that at each stage they are given the right exposure to what they can expect in the outside world, so they are better equipped before they leave the school.”

“What I like about NPS is the openness of the school, from the principal and head of school to the teachers. They are always open to answering questions and encouraging children to speak up, ask questions, and explore where they want to go.

I also appreciate how holistic the school is. My younger child is in primary school and they are given many opportunities in dance, music, arts, and sports, along with experiences like OBTs (Outbound Trips).”
