Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad [SNS] Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad is a not-for-profit K12 initiative by the philanthropic Shiv Nadar Foundation. We began operations in the academic session 2015-16, and are currently imparting education upto class 6th. Every year, a grade will be added organically. While adhering to the curricular framework as laid out by the CBSE, SNS try and evolve a child centric methodology of teaching, where the natural creativity and learning capability of students are recognized and nurtured. SNS visualize our children as fertile minds capable of not merely receiving knowledge, but also constructing it. The pedagogic techniques followed at our school hence comprise of teacher-student engagement in a joyful atmosphere where comprehension and evolution of knowledge patterns happens as a collective activity. SNS stress on not just the intellectual, but also physical, emotional and social growth of a child, achieved by involving him in a variety of carefully thought out activities. In order to be able to achieve all our said objectives, we adopt an extended daily programme, which runs from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm for Classes 1 and upwards. Research shows that teachers are the most important in-school factor in a child's education; that is why it is our topmost priority to ensure we have the best teachers. Not only do SNS ensure they recruit the most able candidates through a rigorous selection process, they invest thoroughly in training and development programs for teachers to ensure that their professional and personal growth receives continuous attention. SNS also maintain an ideal student-teacher ratio to ensure personalized attention to students. The core philosophy guiding the school is that of ‘Education for Life’. We guide our students to become lifelong learners, equipping them with all skills needed battle the various degrees of challenges posed by life. Page | 12
