NEW DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL DELHI

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.
