The School organizes field trips and excursions throughout the academic year depending on subjects and the schedule of the annual academic calendar. Such events provide learners with hands-on learning experiences while doing projects, and connect their classroom learnings with the real-world. Generally, learners visit botanical gardens, zoos, museums, agricultural farms and other sites as identified necessary for practical learning. In addition, our learners engage in community services to contribute to the local community that, in turn, help instill a sense of empathy and responsibility towards the society.

The School serves freshly prepared and well–balanced meal (lunch and snack) to students and staff. Students are given a choice between vegetarian and non–vegetarian food, and with a diverse set of menu options every day to ensure they enjoy healthy, nutritious and delicious meals.

Parents should mention the need of transportation service in the application form while admitting their child in the school. An application should be submitted to the School for the School transportation service before the academic year begins if any students need the service. Students using the transportation service are accompanied by a bus helper to ensure their safety.

Minor injuries and illnesses are treated in the school infirmary. In case of a major injury, the student/s are immediately taken to the nearest hospital, and parents/guardians are notified. Parents/guardians are liable for the payments of such medical expenses.

Students will be handed to their parents only or the person/s authorized by parents. However, middle school and secondary school students may be allowed to go home after the School or bus stop on their own upon receiving a written application from parents for permission to do so.

Learning becomes effective when learners feel valued, cared for, secure and supported. Students with well–developed social and emotional skills are better equipped to manage themselves, develop resilience and a sense of self-worth, engage in teamwork, and feel positive about themselves and the world around them.

The School has purpose–built classrooms and facilities that allow students to have unique and enriching learning experience in the school. All classrooms are spacious and equipped with teaching and learning resources. A limited number of students are kept in each class so as to enable teachers to give every young learner individual attention and care. At NIST, teaching-learning approach is enquiry–based which fosters active and experiential learning among students. Our teachers engage students in active learning that helps them learn how to learn rather than what to learn. Students are encouraged to think critically rather than being a passive recipient of information from teachers. Thus, students play important part in their own learning process.

The School implements a team–teaching (also called Grade teaching) up to Grade three considering students with their different backgrounds and intellectual levels. Team–teaching helps our teachers plan their lessons, set learning goals and activities to meet the needs of individuals or groups of students. In the middle and secondary levels, our teachers adopt the project–based and problem–solving approaches to teaching–learning while teaching units of different subjects.

We believe in continuous learning and the improvement of learning outcomes for learners. A Continuous Assessment System (CAS) is employed to assess our learners’ understanding and performance. A set of class/home assignments, unit / monthly tests, term exams, individual and group project works are given to learners to regularly monitor their learning outcomes. Thus, we implement both formative and summative assessment systems across all grades.

NIST School has become a Cambridge International school since June 2021, and supplements the Curriculum (up to Grade 7) with the Cambridge framework, assessment tools and resources to support excellence and learning and professional development of the school teachers and leaders to deliver the best education possible to our students.

Success in Cambridge qualifications gives students admission to the world’s best universities, and students with Cambridge qualifications are accepted, and valued by universities around the world, including MIT, Harvard and Cambridge. 

The Cambridge education prepares learners for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning.
