“It’s time to unleash the potential of students”.

Our teaching community has members from around the world coming together with the same hopes and aspirations for children to become caring, happy, healthy and successful global citizens. Students are prepared to deal with a globally connected world when they have an appreciation of multiple perspectives, a cross cultural understanding and openness to new experiences by developing a growth mindset.

A strong team of qualified professional administrative and teaching staff have come together to create a place of excellent learning experiences in a joyful environment. The education and well-being of our students is the primary responsibility of the team.

One of the strategic objectives of education at BNPS includes the development of the inner and interpersonal self, scholarly development, active participation in a wide range of opportunities and creative expressions.

To achieve this objective, the curriculum at BNPS follows the principal of integrated education.

Integrated education is one that enables students:

• To weave the development of their physical self with the development of their mind, the emotional, social and inner self
• To make connections between different forms of knowledge,self development and creative expressions.

Formal and informal opportunities are provided for students to appreciate the relationships between inside and outside the classroom learning experience. Linkages are made between the acquisition of languages and arts, science and reasoning, mathematics and experimentation, creative expressions and communication skills.

Students weave in and out of academic classes and non academic classes that include the performing arts, the visual arts, the fine arts and sports. With support from their teachers, students identify pieces of the jigsaw puzzles that constitute knowledge and personal development.

The outcome is the nurturing of the “ whole individual student “ who seeks to learn, to think critically, to relate, to create and to choose with maturity and concern for others. In other words, the development of the individual student who is in the tune with him/her own thinking and creative self as he/she is with the development of the world around him/her.

The scholarly development is to nurture the spirit of exploration and enquiry . For young children, opportunities are available to observe, handle a variety of natural and man-made material and hone their inherent virtues of questioning and sharing. Students are regularly encouraged to conduct enquiry at elementary and complex levels. For this purpose, the school infrastructure and curriculum enables the active use of school laboratories, the library and activity rooms. The time-table each week allows adequate time for students and teachers to read, collect data, construct, discuss, analyze and present their findings with each other on a regular basis.

Scholarly development at BNPS refers to the development of academic knowledge, the ability to question, sensory experience and a honing of creative expressions through the performing arts, fine arts and sports.

Kindergarten lays the foundation for a child’s schooling life. Our Junior School is a dynamic environment in which we see significant developments in a child’s physical, emotional and intellectual growth from Kindergarten through LKG and UKG leading to the graduation at the completion of Year 6. The Pre Primary Curriculum is based on subjects such as English, Math and Environmental Science in addition to arts & crafts, dance, music, yoga and sports. Stress is on providing more hands-on experience to make concepts clear. Fostering interpersonal skills is also a key element of the learning environment.
