Set against the leafy backdrops of JP Nagar, Jayanagar, and Basavanagudi, areas known for their cultural roots and intellectual legacy, CBSE schools in South Bangalore offer more than just academics. South Bangalore’s deeply rooted community values, safety, and strong parent-school connections make it ideal for focused, balanced learning. Among these standout institutions is National Public School (NPS) JP Nagar, a school that perfectly captures the spirit of South Bangalore, rooted in values, yet future-focused.

Established in 2020, the school has quickly grown into a center of excellence, offering a rich blend of strong academics, dynamic co-curricular clubs, and robust sports infrastructure. Under the visionary leadership of Chairman Dr K. P. Gopalkar Singh, and guided by the dynamic management team comprising Managing Director Pramod Srinivas and Dean Harshita, the school was founded with a deep-rooted purpose, to bring meaningful change in education and contribute positively to society.

In just five years, NPS JP Nagar has grown into a vibrant institution offering scholastic and post-scholastic learning experiences. The school’s approach ensures that every child receives balanced exposure, not only in the classroom but also beyond it. Students across all grades, from preprimary to secondary, actively participate in various interschool competitions including debates, cultural programs, Spelling Bee, Abacus, and even gymnastics. NPS JP Nagar students have successfully represented the school not just across Bangalore, but also beyond the city, bringing laurels in diverse competitive arenas.

We ensure that every child receives balanced exposure, not only in the classroom but also beyond it

A core strength of the school lies in its thoughtfully structured weekly schedule. From Monday to Friday, and even on alternate Saturdays for secondary grades, students experience an engaging blend of academics and co-curricular activities. The timetable ensures subjects like English and Math are seamlessly interwoven with music, life skills, and arts. There is an allotted time for CCA (CoCurricular Activities) through hobby clubs such as music, dance, art, and podcasting. An exclusive hour is devoted to extracurricular sports, allowing students to specialize in a chosen sport in addition to regular physical education classes.

NPS JP Nagar distinguishes itself through its robust infrastructure and experiential learning. The campus boasts a range of sports facilities including a spacious basketball court, football ground, skating area, and spaces for kickboxing and gymnastics, accessible even to preprimary students. Complementing the physical amenities are well-equipped academic laboratories including a computer lab, math lab, composite science lab, and a Montessori lab, all of which foster a hands-on, inquirybased learning environment. “From the foundational years, students are introduced to experiential learning through dedicated lab sessions, Montessori lab for preprimary, Math and Computer labs for primary, and a Composite Science lab from Grade 1 onwards. Each student attends at least one lab session per week, ensuring consistent exposure to practical learning”, informs Aracha Sinha, Principal, NPS  .

Innovative Learning Through Technology

Innovation in education is seamlessly integrated into daily teaching practices to meet the evolving needs of 21st-century learners. The school recognizes that every child learns differently, some through observation, others through hands-on experiences. With this understanding, lesson plans are thoughtfully crafted by subject matter experts to incorporate a variety of activities tailored to different learning styles. Technology plays a key role, with every classroom equipped as a smart room to enhance engagement and comprehension.

This dynamic blend of technology and activity-based instruction not only deepen conceptual understanding but also keeps students actively involved in the learning process. “We believe in empowering every child with responsibility, whether leading a class activity or managing a school assembly, students take the lead. Through roles like the student council and various in-class duties, we nurture leadership, creativity, and a strong sense of social responsibility from an early age”, adds Aracha. 

Assigning Qualified Educators

The teaching faculty at NPS JP Nagar is a team of highly qualified professionals, selected through a meticulous recruitment process to ensure excellence in education. Each teacher holds a graduate or postgraduate degree, along with the necessary professional qualifications, Montessori or Nursery Training for pre-primary, and a mandatory B.Ed. for primary and above. In addition to academic credentials, prior teaching experience is given significant weight. The recruitment process includes a rigorous screening that involves a written test, a demonstration class, and multiple interview rounds with coordinators and the academic leadership team. This ensures that only passionate, skilled, and student-focused educators become part of the institution, contributing to a rich and supportive learning environment.

Vision for the Future 

Looking ahead, NPS JP Nagar is set to broaden its academic and extracurricular offerings to stay aligned with futureready education. Plans are underway to introduce new clubs focused on STEM, including coding and robotics, aimed at nurturing problem-solving and analytical thinking skills from an early age. “In the realm of sports, while basketball and football are well-established, we are working to extend these opportunities to younger students. Additionally, gymnastics, currently offered for the junior segment, is being planned for senior students as well to ensure a more inclusive and comprehensive development platform for all age groups”, concludes Aracha.
