Navrachana International School - Bhayli

"Navrachana International School Vadodara, (NISV), is a state-of-the-art English-medium school spread over 25 acres and equipped with excellent and modern education and sporting infrastructure and air-conditioned academic and boarding facilities. It is administered by the 50-year old Navrachana Education Society (NES) and offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme, Cambridge's International General Certificate in Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the CBSE Curriculum. Situated on the outskirts of the city on a lush 25 acre campus, Navrachana International School combines a rich and colourful heritage with a vibrant, modern out look. Surrounded by fields that change colour with the seasons, it keeps pace with the latest in trends and technology.As an international school, NISV strives to inculcate the same ethos of inquiry to reinforce learning. At the same time its policies and programmes find an echo in the philosophy of J. Krishnmurthy which considers a school as a place where one learns about the totality, the wholeness of life. Academic excellence is absolutely necessary, but a school includes much more than that. It is a place where both the teacher and the student explore, not only the outer world, the world of knowledge, but also their own thinking, their own behavior.The National Curriculum Framework 2005 inter alia focuses on connecting knowledge to life outside the school, ensuring that learning shifts away from rote methods, enriching curriculum so that it goes beyond textbooks, building commitment to democratic values of equality, justice, freedom, concern for others well being, secularism and respect for human dignity and rights. Learning and Knowledge focuses on children as active learners with primacy given to childrens experiences, their voices and their participation in the construction of knowledge. The NISV learning systems and programmes, pedagogical approaches and methodologies are mirrored in the National Curriculum Framework 2005 by laying stress on knowledge issues, concepts, attitudes, skills and action for future.A universality, a global perspective, and an international mindedness pervade systems of education practiced across the world; a microcosm of that world is Navrachana International School, Vadodara."
