Our kindergarten classrooms inspire awe and wonder, and equate learning with a sense of magic and freedom. We have created an environment that allows children to explore the world around them and become participants in the learning process through a genuine interest to know more.
Our kindergarten is a celebration of childhood
We believe that children are not empty vessels to be filled with facts. They are extraordinary humans capable of understanding complex ideas. We do not water down our academics but rather present a rich feast of ideas.
Our students are motivated to keep learning for the rest of their lives because their imaginations have been captured from the very beginning. Small class sizes and individualised attention allow us to meet every developmentally appropriate learning goal for the early years.

Play-based and sensory learning across language, early numeracy and the world around them

Ready for Grade 1
By UKG, children are prepared for the CBSE primary curriculum: reading with confidence, working with numbers, following classroom routines and asking questions without hesitation. Because NHIS follows a single Hybrid CBSE pathway, the move into Grade 1 is a continuation rather than a fresh start.
Why parents in North Bangalore choose NHIS
Located on Hennur Main Road in Kothanur, NHIS serves families across Hennur, Kothanur, Thanisandra, Hebbal and Yelahanka. Children who join our pre-primary school continue on the same CBSE campus through Grade 12.
