At New Hardwick Indian School (NHIS), education is not built around textbooks alone—it is built around the child. Every learner is unique in curiosity, pace, interest, and potential. NHIS embraces this individuality through a thoughtfully designed child centric education model aligned with the vision of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the spirit of the National Education Policy 2020.
This approach ensures that learning is meaningful, engaging, and tailored to nurture not just academic excellence but also emotional intelligence, creativity, confidence, and life skills.
“When education revolves around the child, learning becomes joyful, meaningful, and lifelong.”— New Hardwick Indian School, Magadi Road, Bengaluru

What is Child Centric Education?
Child centric education shifts the focus:
From teaching to learning
From syllabus completion to concept understanding
From marks to mastery

NHIS maintains optimal student-teacher ratios to ensure:
Individual attention
Identification of learning styles

Experiential projects
Hands-on experiments

Strong Parent-School Partnership
