“The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics."
– Paul Halmos
Mathematics can be intimidating with seemingly unintelligible symbols and notations. NPS HSR makes learning mathematics fun. We believe that children need to first make sense of the world around them and develop number sense and spatial sense before they can successfully grasp the concepts of mathematics. It is with this idea that NPS HSR initiated its Math lab facility where learning mathematics takes place through activities.
The Math Lab helps in developing the habits of critical thinking and logical reasoning. Complex theoretical concepts become clear because concepts go hand-in-hand with practical implementation. The Math Lab kindles interest in learning mathematics because theoretical knowledge can be related to students’ activities in everyday life.
The Physics Laboratory is an open laboratory designed to cater to interdisciplinary experimentation. The lab is equipped with instruments that enable structural experimentation by students, providing them with hands-on experience. This affords them an unfettered opportunity to experiment, making it a valuable resource unit of the school.
Computer education is an integral part of the school curriculum. The school has a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure with a next-generation computer lab. Computers in the lab, audio-visual rooms, and the staff rooms are networked. The curriculum is designed in a way that keeps the students abreast of frontier technology.
"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand."
– Confucius
At NPS HSR, we strongly believe in the philosophy that learning is best achieved through hands-on experiences. To support this approach, we maintain two well-equipped laboratories: one for the junior school and another for the senior school.
Our senior school laboratory is spacious and equipped with a variety of resources. It houses preserved specimens, a wide range of permanent slides, light microscopes, models of the brain, sense organs, and the human skeleton. This lab offers excellent facilities for students in Grades 9 to 12 to gain hands-on experience by performing various experiments. These experiments include temporary mount/slide preparations, chemical analysis of food samples, testing water samples for microbes, observing pollen germination, conducting paper chromatography, and studying osmosis, among others.
The Biology laboratory, with its extensive collection of equipment, specimens, and models, serves as an exceptional platform for learning and experimentation
The school has a spacious and well-equipped Chemistry Laboratory. The laboratory is stocked with a wide range of chemicals and apparatus that enrich the students' learning experience. Students gain hands-on experience while conducting experiments. With the guidance of teachers, students not only acquire a deep understanding of subject concepts but also develop observational, analytical, and logical skills. Furthermore, students are given opportunities to undertake projects beyond their curriculum.
Our junior Science Lab is an innovative and interactive learning environment designed to spark curiosity, inspire discovery, and nurture a love for science among young students. It serves as a dynamic space where children from primary and middle school explore and experiment with various scientific concepts in a hands-on and age-appropriate manner.
Equipped with an eclectic range of books and periodicals, as well as audio-visual materials like CDs and DVDs, the fully automated library at NPS HSR is a dynamic hub of activity and a center for learning. Separate sections with colour-tagged books ensure that students in the primary grades, from 1 to 5, have access to age-appropriate reading materials. Information literacy activities are introduced at the primary level, allowing students to utilize the reference section with a wide variety of general and subject encyclopaedias. Each year brings with it a fresh treasure trove for our young minds to read, discover, and flourish.
The school boasts a multipurpose auditorium that serves as a versatile venue for various events. This fully air-conditioned facility is equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, enhancing the overall experience for attendees.
The auditorium truly comes to life during school functions, competitions, class assemblies, and both inter-school and intra-school activities. The auditorium stage provides students with a platform to showcase their diverse extra-curricular talents. It is widely acknowledged that proficiency in extra-curricular activities plays a vital role in a student's holistic development.
“Dance teachers help students find a song in their heart, the beat in their feet and a passion for life.”
Our dedicated Dance Room is a space where rhythm, movement, and creativity converge to create magical moments of expression. The dance room is the wellspring from where talents begin to bloom. Students learn various forms of dance like the Free style, Folk dance, and Bharatnatyam.
Our dedicated Art Room is a space where imagination knows no bounds, and creativity takes centre stage. Here, students have the opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery through the world of art. Our Art Room is not just a classroom; it's a sanctuary for budding artists. With its vibrant colours, inspirational decor, and an atmosphere conducive to creativity, it's the perfect place for students to unleash their artistic potential.
The Art Room isn't just a solitary space for individual expression. It's a hub for collaboration, where students can work on group projects, engage in art competitions, or simply exchange ideas and inspiration with their peers.
At NPS HSR, we understand that the journey of learning and personal growth sometimes comes with challenges and questions. That's why we have a dedicated Counselling Room, a safe and confidential space where students can find the support and guidance they need to navigate life's complexities. Our Counselling Room is designed to be a haven of comfort and trust. It's a place where students can openly express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns, knowing that they will be listened to without judgment.
In addition to one-on-one counselling, we offer workshops and group sessions on various topics such as stress management, study skills, and building resilience. These sessions provide students with valuable tools to cope with life's demands.
"Yoga is the practice of quietening the mind"
