LIFE AT NPSI
Sports Academy
OVERVIEW
Sports Academy
NPS’s unique Sports Academy programme aims to cultivate strong fundamentals of various sports in our students. These short term, intensive training programmes are conducted on weekends and provide a professionally developed and rigourous course for our sports oriented students. They are also effective in fostering sportsmanship and an all-round development of personality and values.
Sports Academy courses are 7 weeks long and are conducted on Saturday mornings/evenings, at the NPSI campus. The programs are conceptualised and directed by our resident specialist coaches, many of whom have a background of professional sports and have represented the country at various levels.
Currently, training for the following sports are offered:
- Basketball
- Badminton
- Cricket
A special NPS Cricket Academy is also conducted for advanced players and is open to non-NPSI students (aged 8 –16) as well. This is subject to selection.
Fees for Sports Academy are payable separately and will be intimated at the time of registration. Further information will be shared during the school term.
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.”
Mohit Khadelwal
Parent of Mishika, Grade 8
“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 student, Grade 9
“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.”
Xueshirui
NPSI student, Grade 10
“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.”
Lokesh Gangadhar
Parent of Achintya, Grade 8
“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).”
