About the school

National Public School — a co-educational day school in Gopalapuram, Chennai — is among the well-known options guardians consider when shortlisting the best schools in Chennai. Established in 1970, the school has been part of the Chennai education landscape for 56 years. NPS prepares students for the CBSE board examinations and covers up to the senior secondary stage.

Curriculum at NPS

NPS prepares students for the CBSE board examinations, with English as the primary medium of instruction. Additional languages taught include English. The CBSE framework follows NCERT textbooks and is widely recognised across Indian universities and competitive entrance exams. Academic sessions run April to March, with continuous assessment supplementing term examinations.

Learning depth

Day-to-day, NPS's learning environment combines classroom teaching with hands-on time in computer lab, library and CCTV coverage where the campus supports it. Continuous assessment is layered on top of the term examinations, with project work and lab assignments contributing to the final grade in most subjects.

Parent fit

Families comparing NPS against other CBSE schools in Chennai usually weigh three things: how the school handles the transition between primary and senior school, the strength of the co-curricular calendar, and how transparent the admissions team is during the enquiry. If you're choosing between State board and IGCSE for the long-term exit, factor in the colleges your child is most likely to apply to — that decision often settles the board question more cleanly than a side-by-side feature comparison. Use the Compare tool on the platform to stack NPS against one or two finalists on board, fees, facilities and parent ratings before booking the campus visit round.
