Extra-curricular
We believe that extracurricular activities are an essential part of the education and growth of our students. Our school offers a wide range of activities that cater to various interests, talents, and age groups. From sports teams to music and drama clubs, community service groups to academic societies, there is something for everyone.
Sports
Sports is an integral part of curriculum at NIS. Sports enables optimum physical development of kids and makes them more agile, active and competent.
​
We encourage students to engage in sports as a subject and learn the finer aspects of multiple sports. Our students not only get adequate time to play, but they also get to approach it in an academic manner so that they develop knowledge of different aspects of sports and get a good foundation for their future endeavors if they choose to pursue any sport professionally.
​
Apart from the time available as a part of scheduled activity, students are permitted and encouraged to utilize the school facilities during holidays with prior notification and permission.
Classical Music
Music is a great way to go deeper into one’s mind and explore the different dimensions of abilities. At NIS every student is exposed to the fascinating world of Carnatic Classical Music.
​
Students learn classical music from able teachers who are not only practitioners of classical music but are also competent with the knowledge of the origins, evolution and current forms of music. This enables our students to understand classical music in a broader sense along with getting trained in the practice of it.
Classical Dance
Dance facilitates better expression and communication. Dance makes one confident of their own body and brings in an integration between body mind and spirit.
All students at NIS shall go through learning of Bharatanatyam as a part of curriculum. The learning of this art form from knowledgeable and practicing teachers makes our students aware of the possibilities of further pursuits.
Martial Arts
Martial arts are inculcated in the curriculum to make our students confident of facing challenges within themselves and also in the world as they get exposed to different forms of threats and dangers.
​
Learning martial arts as a form of self-defense empowers our students to confidently explore different possibilities without feeling vulnerable or threatened by external circumstances.
Yoga
Yoga is one of the greatest gifts of Indian civilizational advancement to the world. Yoga is not just a form of exercise but a complete system of integrating the body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, ego and self.
At NIS Yoga is studied as a subject and students are taken through the different levels of Astanga Yoga under the able leadership of practicing yoga masters.
​
Learning yoga both in theory and practice provides our students the opportunity to explore the depths of their inner strength and potential and transform that into success in their academic as well as life pursuits.
Theatre & stagecraft
Effective communication and pleasant social interaction are among the top skills necessary for achieving higher levels of success in professional and personal life.
