The school seeks to blend academics with practical knowledge in a unique ecosystem. This amalgamation will be synchronized with the values, which will transform each student into an asset for society. NTS has set a new benchmark in education through its approach towards the entire process of imparting education. |
|
The curriculum at NTS has been designed to inculcate a multi-dimensional approach in problem solving through teamwork and research. We at NTS believe that every student is unique in terms of creative talent, interests and inclination. Hence, our customised approach towards each student nurtures each child into a confident individual, capable of coping with the challenges of tomorrow. |

She has participated in the 2nd President’s Cup Air Weapon Shooting Championship 2021, held on 19th August in Serampore, West Bengal; and won 7 Gold Medals, 4 in Individual category and 3 in Team Category in Air Rifle Peep Sight.

The world is developing, technology is growing and so is the young generation. Today's youth is turning smarter at a rapid pace and grabbing the best opportunities that life provides them. There is something about the way they look towards life. At a very tender age, they visualize changing the world. They have faith in their ideas and in themselves. That faith is what drives them to work towards every little dream they have. Working on the same philosophy, three of our young students; Anshuman Bhagat of Class VIII A, Aryan Mallick of Class VIII B and Tanish Majumdar of Class VIII D received the First Prize in Kolkata Region World Robot Olympiad 2018 in the Junior High Category. The competition was held in our School on 4th and 5th August 2018 with students from 22 reputed schools participating from the Eastern Region. They have successfully qualified for the National Olympiad 2018.
Our student, Rishav Kumar of class VIII-C has made us proud by becoming a registered App developer with Apple Inc after going through an online worldwide examination in which he secured an enviable 4308 th rank out of almost 9 lakh examinees. Since November 2017, he has published 4 apps on the iPhone and iPad App Store. This young achiever, started developing apps since he was 11 years old and has been encouraged in his endeavour by his parents. His perseverance and undaunted spirit has brought him thus far and will surely take him places in years to come. We wish him all the very best in all his future aspirations.

‘Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful’.
Real superheroes live in the heart of small children fighting big battles. Our very own Ananda Gopal Ghosal , a student of class VII has been a fighter since birth battling Kabuki Syndrome a congenital disorder, which afflicts one in 10 million. This disorder has caused an irreversible kidney malfunction and the child according to the nephrologist, requires an immediate kidney transplant. He has however, never allowed his physical difficulties to get the better of him and have participated in all our School activities with focussed enthusiasm and zeal. An epitome of extreme mental strength, Ananda is one of our academically promising students as well.
He has received the School’s First Annual Bravery Award on 15th August 2017; an initiative started by our school to recognize and salute the extraordinary grit and resilience in our students in the face of adversity.
May the Almighty always pave his way with His Blessings!
The Interact Club is an offshoot of the Rotary Club and is designed to bring together the students of Classes VII to IX to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service above Self. It gives them an opportunity to participate in fun and meaningful service projects that encourage the development of leadership skills. They also participate in programmes and activities that widen their horizons and are important for their all-round development.

Having Quality Circle Time in a structured and proper manner is essential for this.

Regular monitoring by a dedicated safety and security officer, makes the entire process completely transparent, so that any untoward event may be averted.
At The Newtown School, the safety and security of our students is of prime importance to us. Keeping this in mind, we have successfully installed CCTV cameras in all our buses with recording facilities. The cameras have been strategically placed in the front, middle and rear of the buses to ensure maximum coverage and protection.
Surveillance cameras give us the ability to keep the children in check while navigating the route to or from the School. Occurrences like bullying inside the bus can also be monitored through this system.
At The Newtown School we have RFID enabled ID Cards for ensuring the safety of each student.

Once the card is deactivated it will become invalid in our system. This mitigates any risk of handing over the child to a stranger in case the escort card falls in his/her hand. This has been implemented till class II.
The myly mobile app keeps parents informed about the curriculum followed in the School, besides keeping them abreast of their child’s activities in the classroom.
