National Public School, Indiranagar, Indiranagar

A) High headed staff starting from receptionist. They feel burdened even in talking to parents or aspirants. I think the owner should get this information and get the things right and avoid the Deterioration of image he has built over time.
B) They should show some respect for parents.
C) A very small playground. Kids can't do much of physical activities

For Montessori and primary classes, I find NPS very child friendly, the curriculum is well designed and gradually increases in it's level which the child can handle. I find the staff really qualified and trained for their work and they have a way with the children, bringing the best out of them. The school has a very good academic focus.

True! High headed staff and school. Think no end to themselves. Don't think the idea here is to impart education....its more of Snobbish nature and less of anything important....

A good school for the academics.

Academically it is a good school but i don't like one thing about it is that on what criteria do they give admission? I mean for kg we do understand but for nursary also they don't have sufficient admission seats!!!

Renowned school and known for academics. Good number of students clear competitive exams. But on the downside, admission process is biased where priority is given to influential parents.

Dear Friends,

Several years ago a man travelled in his bicycle in Indira Nagar area requesting parents to admit their children to his school. He was none other than the founder of National Public School, Indira Nagar.

Over the years, the school has built a reputation on account of the focus it has given to academics. NPS has become a brand and so arrogance has set in.

I recall how arrogant Ms Shanta Chandran was when she questioned me – “how can you be so confident that your children will qualify in the entrance exams conducted by NPS ? “ I replied back to her saying that I had the same confidence that her parents had when they educated her. That the reception staff and administrative heads are high-handed is an understatement.

But no, this is definitely not a case of sour grapes. I know from teachers in this school that students in this school come with a huge baggage about their rich family background. So, if you are from a middle class family, please do not torture your child by seeking admission in this school. Your child will develop a complex. A good student is a good student is a good student. Otherwise, you will not have toppers from Kannada medium government schools. NPS is a school that is notorious for treating parents like beggars. But you can’t blame them. Nothing succeeds like success. With branches spread out in Bangalore and also in Singapore, they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

A good student will do well in any school – CBSE or ICSE.

Encourage your child to believe in himself. That is what counts in the long run.

Its an excellent school string right balance in academic and extracurricular activities.Teachers are very committed.Very good teacher-student relationship.Emphasis on right values be inculcated amongst students.

This has got to be the best School around. For one it is time tested. Our daughter and countless other parents, vouch for the level and means in which the education is parted. It is true that their focus is academic in nature but then we (as Parents) decided to own the extra curricular activities for our kid.

BTW, they do have an encourage sports and other activities as well (we did not expect it).

Another point is the way they impart lessons in discipline and politeness. They know how to inculcate these, not only in the kids but a level in the parents, which is a must to part these.

Great School.
