Hybrid CBSE Curriculum at NHIS
Our curriculum is meticulously designed to inspire new ideas and ignite curiosity in our students.
HYBRID CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) is a concept unique to NHIS. HYBRID CBSE is an optimal blend of CBSE with the best practices of an international board, ensuring learning of the highest order. Our HYBRID CBSE curriculum has been developed keeping in mind the needs of the 21st century. With international infrastructure and a student centric hands-on teaching pedagogy, we nurture creativity and promote innovative thinking to give rise to leaders and innovators.
New Horizon International School is affiliated to CBSE under Affiliation No. 831360, and Hybrid CBSE is the single curriculum followed at every stage of school, from Playgroup to Grade 12.
The syllabus is CBSE. The classroom is not ordinary.
The syllabus, examinations and certification are entirely CBSE. What changes is how that syllabus reaches the classroom.
Concept-first teaching in place of textbook-first coverage
Laboratory work, projects and fieldwork built into the regular timetable, not treated as add-ons
Continuous assessment through the year alongside CBSE's formal examination pattern
Language, arts, sport and life skills taught by subject specialists, with class sizes capped so teachers can work with students individually
No curriculum switch at any stage
Parents choosing NHIS do not have to plan a curriculum switch at any stage. A child who joins in Playgroup follows the same academic framework right through to the CBSE Class 12 examination.

CBSE board examinations at NHIS
Students appear for the CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. CBSE certification is recognised by universities across India and by institutions abroad, and it maps directly to the national entrance examinations most students in Bangalore prepare for, including JEE, NEET and CUET.
Learning beyond the syllabus
The Science Park, Robotics Lab and Tinkering Laboratory at NHIS exist so that CBSE topics get tested by hand. Alongside these, students take part in NHMUN, Values Plus, competitive sport and the performing arts.
