About School

A school is known for a child when she / he enters a school system, it is the begining of a long journey of the 'self and the world around' in a gradual but regulated manner. Mark the words 'gradual' and 'regulated'.Any attempt to overload the young brain with too much too soon is actually detrimental to a natural growth of the child's brain and mind that are raw and still not developed fully in a biological sense.

On the contrary, there is risk of killing the naturally evolving process of the spirit of enquiry and curiosity in the child even before they are awakened.That is what actually afflicting the school education system in the country today. What with public schools vying with each other in producing asmart new generation of the child prodigies.

This is a lop-sided approach to developing balanced minds in their formative years. A heavy emphasis on cmpetitive performance in the board exams is leading to generation of intense stress.The yardstick of a child's learning level is the percentage scored in the board exams which is not a wholly valid measeure.Most of times it may not be based on a fair assessment of real merit which in itself is a difficult concept to define. The greatest casuality of this excessive focus on academic performance has been an utter negligience of embedding human values in a child's belief system.

Today's generation of students is a victim of a school system which has not contributed adequately to making them good human beings. We set up the 'new delhi public school (ndps)' with a view to address all such concerns. The ndps is a school different from all others in its philosophy. The emphasis at ndps is on a a balanced approach to imparting curriculum-oriented instructions and also inculcation of universal human values among students. Neither of the above two facets of holistic education is neglected at ndps.

Our PHILOSOPHY

Schools being the primal social institutions have the greatest social responsibility to shoulder. Because it is in schools that foundation for future human enterprise is laid in the young minds. This calls for a holistic approach towards imparting instructions to young pupils in not merely the academic subjects alone but also the whole discipline of man to man, and to nature interactions.

The first responsibility therefore is that of the schools in the country to develop today’s children into tomorrow’s citizens who are self aware and responsible good human beings. And it is on this score that a real action is needed at a national scale if we were to obliterate most of the ills and evils afflicting our society today. Children are the real gold-the most precious resource of any country. It is for the teachers in a school system to put this gold to a test of fire-the extreme but regulated heat of disciplined learning, a regimen of practice, and mould it into a form that would fit the present and future needs of our society and humanity at large. Regulation of this is a must and key learning’s need to be tested, tried and reinforced. It would be a tall order to achieve and calls for putting the teachers to Gold’s test of fire first, Teachers as role models first need to be oriented into an incessant and disciplined regimen of learning for themselves in order for them to be effective.
