At NEWS (NEW ERA WORLD SCHOOL), there is a focused approach to making education relevant- by providing experiences & opportunities wherein our learners could apply their knowledge & connect it to real world contexts. Not only is this being achieved through linking the newspapers to the curriculum and bringing the everyday world into the classroom but also through numerous hands on projects.

The meaning of ‘knowledge’ for us is not simply ‘being able to remember’ but ‘being able to find and use it’. At NEWS, education is about building the skills to adapt to changing times. The curriculum is mapped according to age. Developmentally appropriate outcomes are designed to help a child start by discovering themselves through their school environment and then to relate their learning to the wider world.

Framework is designed with the objective to take teaching into a different realm altogether — and imbue it with genuine fun and interest for faster comprehension and understanding.


Our Pedagogy


Our methodology gives access to Real Time Coaching and Critical Thinking. Our pedagogy include:

"Visuals, Audio, Kinaesthetic, Linguistic, logical, social and solitary learning tools".

Building of socio emotional skills, empathy and inculcation of winning spirit are also the vital parts of the framework. For students, young and old alike, learning by doing activities allow knowledge to be imbibed almost unconsciously. “Take the students out of the four walls of the classroom and bring the outside world into it….” that has been the constant endeavour at New Era World School.

Evaluation System

The evaluation system is informal, comprehensive, non–comparative and based on continuous observation. It revolves around the perspective that each child is a unique individual with his or her own special qualities, like a flower whose seed has been endowed with specific characteristics that makes it different from every other flower and all comparisons, if any, is to be done with one’s own previous performance. Ever since the school began, the evaluation of students up to class V is done on the basis of observation by means of a detailed checklist on a continuous basis. The key personality areas have been scientifically translated into the key curriculum areas. Extensive checklists have been prepared for each of the key curriculum area.

Life Skills is an integral part of school curriculum. A Special CCE ALIGNED Life-Skills Programme in Association with ViJyoti is being implemented for all classes with these modules.

With our specially designed Life-Skills programme in association with VIJYOTI, we aim to enable the young minds to learn how to think and discipline emotions – an area neglected in worldwide education system. We go beyond the confines of narrow learning and aim for the essential learning outcomes for professional success, personal development and responsible citizenship:
