NIS Special Features

---

• Regular personal diagnostic assessments, reports & smart plans-based on the premise of 'Compete with Yourself', where progress is the goal!
• Very clear institutional goals and objectives resulting in improved performance of the students.
• Language (focus on pronunciation and expression in Spoken English, reading comprehension, etc.) and concept development activities for other subjects are an important part of the classroom curriculum.
• Interactive hands-on learning: Interactive learning is a more hands-on, real-world process of relaying information in classrooms. Passive learning relies on listening to teacher's lecture or rote memorization of information. But with interactive learning, students are invited to participate in the conversation, through technology (online reading and math programs, for instance) or through role-playing group exercises in class.
• A culture and climate which is in complete harmony with nature and is conducive to learning. This is reinforced by praise and rewards for good performance and a student-centred approach to teaching.
• Great leadership from the principal- The principal is both an instructional leader and a manager of the school. This is what drives continual improvement in teaching and learning throughout the school.

Our Curriculum

The curriculum at Nurture International School, NIS, is based on the principle of "Compete with Yourself. " Competing with themselves helps children succeed by achieving their goals comparatively easily. It helps them foster self-esteem and confidence. Our curriculum offers a holistic development of a person's intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative and spiritual potentials. We offer an academic, co-curricular and personal development programme that offers students every opportunity to grow in knowledge, self-confidence, skill and understanding. NIS documents each child's personal progress and focuses on both accomplishment and improvement. This creates an intrinsic motivation to succeed. Every child is challenged and supported at his/her level.

A year's course book is divided into six parts called tiers. Understanding, mastery and conceptual clarity is the objective of each tier. After the completion of each tier the child's progress is reviewed through formative and diagnostic assessments which are often verbal and visual. The focus is on self-learning which is achieved through peer correction and peer learning forms of assessments where children learn from each other's mistakes. Real time feedback is provided along with corrective actions which are taken immediately. Early intervention is the key to every child's success.
