Navrachana International School, Vadodara (NISV), an integral part of the Navrachana
Education Society (NES), marks the coming of age of International School Education in
Gujarat. Its unique distinction is that, it is the first Day-cum-Residential coeducation school
in the state, which offers complete K-12 education, through well-reputed
international/national curricula and pedagogies to students. It is the brain-child of the
Society’s pioneering leaders in the field of education over the last four decades, and a far
sighted tribute of NES to the cause of education with a truly global perspective.
The Navrachana International School is located in quiet and serene surroundings in
Vadodara, a city with a rich cultural heritage and a unique cosmopolitan character, the result
of the visionary genius and zealous endeavour of its erstwhile ruler, Maharaja Sayajirao III. In
this environment, NISV has been embraced as a significant contributor to quality education.
The School's mission statement incorporates the time-honoured principles of fostering the
spirit of excellence through Educating, Empowering and Enlightening all its students. With
an effective mix of internationally acclaimed curricula and methodologies with an
essentially Indian ethos, NISV's objective is to train generations of young students to grow
and develop into proud and responsible global citizens. In tandem with this conviction, NISV
pursues a judicious blend of tried and tested pedagogies, characterized by essential
innovative practices. Hence its affiliation with the Cambridge International Examinations
(CIE) of the University of Cambridge, UK, The International Baccalaureate Organisation
(IBO), Geneva, and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi. NISV thus
keeps itself abreast with the latest in holistic education, practised in the best schools around
the world.
Infrastructure
The bedrock of NISV's education policy is to lay a sound foundation for life for all its students in their
concerted effort to help them frame their destinies. NISV's academic curriculum complements its
state-of-the-art infrastructure that helps in physically creating an environment of enquiry and
learning. The school is situated at the centre of a verdant green expanse of sports fields fringed with
trees. It is a low rise building flooded with natural light and air. The large open-to-air central courtyard
and wide corridors flanking the class rooms use these elements to advantage. The classrooms are airconditioned and large enough to accommodate its 20+ students. Subject laboratories, IT enabled
Resource Centres, Art and Craft rooms, Libraries and technology-aided Classrooms help NISV's
supportive team of highly qualified and experienced teaching professionals to deliver its curricula
effectively. Their skills as facilitators are continually enhanced through frequent faculty enrichment
programmes, both external and in-house. Consequently, the symbiotic culture of “grow as you learn
and learn as you grow” underpins the academic environment at NISV.
Co-curricular Activities
All activities at NISV attempt to develop students into well-rounded personalities. With the objective
of providing an appropriate platform for 'hands-on' learning to our students, a wide array of sporting
facilities, conducted under the supervision of qualified sports coaches, have been provided. From
conventional field games, to the more stimulating activities such as aerobics, NISV offers them all. A
dream 400 mt race track, lush green Football Fields, Tennis Courts, Basketball Courts, Table Tennis
facilities and an Olympic sized swimming pool - are temptations enough to stimulate even the most
athletically uninspired!
No less important in the NISV scheme of things is Aesthetics. Full-fledged Centres for Visual and
Performing Arts are the pride of the School. In this crucible, latent talent is nurtured, enhanced and
acknowledged under the tutelage of dedicated, and extremely talented teachers, who are often
practicing artists and performers themselves.
Our Outbound Programme to various parts of the country and abroad has added a vital fillip to our
curricular endeavors as it provides a experiential learning beyond the walls of the classroom and
facilitates a deeper contact with nature and the environment. The vibrant Student and Teacher
Exchange Programme with schools abroad is aimed at facilitating international mindedness and
creating opportunities to focus on the world as a canvas for learning.
We have opened our hearts and doors to students from around the world!
NISV's residential suites are geared for comfortable living, designed aesthetically and practically, and
accommodate three children to a room. While the recreation lounges allow for relaxation, the ICT
node in the study lounges makes for pleasurable learning.
