“Vidya Niketan School is a preparation for life… an avenue to give each child a strong foundation to build on.” 

As the planet grows smaller and more closely connected VNS recognizes the need to encompass global interest and include internationalism as an important component of the ethos and curriculum of the school. The management, staff and parents of VNS are committed to cultivating global awareness by spreading the message of taking pride not only by being a citizen of their respective countries but by being a citizen of the world.  In the interest of our shared future on this planet we need to recognize all other nations as equal in spire of their differences.  We would like each and every student in the school to believe in the words of Ramsey Macdonald who rightly said “Our true nationality is mankind.”  

Way to go..... VNS!
Vidya Niketan has now become a part of a cluster of 6 schools, organized by British Council as part of their UKIERI Programme. These schools will be working on a program in partnership with a cluster of UK schools. The five other schools in the cluster are Vidya Shilp Academy, Mallya Aditi International School, Sri Vani Public School, R.V Public School and Sudharshan Vidya Mandir.

Aims

"Reach high for stars lie hidden in our soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes a goal"

Vidya Niketan is a school with global reach, yet roots clearly and proudly embedded in  Indian culture and ethos.  Moving with the times but retaining its core values with which it started of ‘ Character Building and Man Making’ – letting every child discover his/her potential and developing a well rounded personality. The special flavour is inculcating students to sensitivity of every area of human endeavour. Our commitment to our motto ‘Discipline and Excellence’ is re-affirmed every year by students who pass out. They are confident, independent individuals who can hold their own in every field they walk into.  

Vidya Niketan School is dedicated to the holistic development of every child through individual attention. Children are encouraged to discover new avenues and new approaches to every subject.  

Vidya Niketan School aims to educate students to become active global citizens, committed to working towards perpetuating a peaceful co-existence of the multifaceted global community.

Each child is encouraged to perform to the best of his/her ability.  We are committed to provide a well rounded education aimed at overall development of a child’s personality.

Shaping Tomorrow’s World

At Vidya Niketan School, we empower children to build a better tomorrow for themselves and for others around the world. Our aim is to help create tomorrow’s world leaders – environmentally conscious global citizens with an international outlook.

In order to prepare students for an international environment, we make sure that children understand other cultures and countries, and emphasise good personal habits.

Seminars and workshops on topics like public speaking, personality development, sex-education, adolescence, reading enrichment and life skill programmes are conducted by professionals in diverse fields. At the high school level, Steven Covey’s ‘Seven Habits of Highly Successful People’ is used as a tool to inculcate life skills.

We believe in using contemporary, innovative teaching techniques to transcend traditional textbook learning. Some of these methods include:
Goal-setting and benchmarking by the students	Self-learning through the library and the Internet
Self-evaluation of answer scripts	Time management skills
Group study and teamwork	Language learning
Graphical analysis of progress	Interaction with other schools
