Education in India is evolving rapidly, and parents today seek the best CBSE schools in India that not only focus on academic excellence but also nurture holistic development. Narayana Schools, with over four decades of expertise, have built an ecosystem of age-appropriate learning programmes, designed to support every stage of a child’s growth. From the eKidz pre-primary programme (nursery to PP2/nursery to UKG) to the foundational eChamps primary programme (Classes 1-5) to the advanced eTechno middle and secondary programme (Classes 6-10), each step is carefully aligned with the needs of learners.
At the heart of this system lies an Integrated Curriculum, where workbooks and study materials are meticulously designed by drawing the best elements from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE), International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and International Baccalaureate (IB) boards. This ensures deeper conceptual understanding and a well-rounded learning approach from the eChamps level onwards.
Another unique feature is Adoption Calling, which begins right from the eKidz stage. Here, a dedicated teacher is assigned to a group of up to 30 students. This teacher not only tracks the overall development of each child by taking feedback from other subject teachers but also connects with parents through a physical call every 15 days. During these conversations, discussions include the child’s progress, parental feedback, classroom experiences, teacher observations and even the parents’ concern related to hygiene, infrastructure or other issues. This proactive approach creates a strong three-way partnership between students, parents and teachers, ensuring holistic growth.
With a strong presence of 500+ schools across the country, Narayana Schools stands as a trusted name for parents looking for a comprehensive educational experience.
What makes Narayana Schools’ programmes unique at every stage?
eKidz: Introducing kids to the world outside their family
(Ages 3–6 | Pre-Primary Schooling | Nursery, PP1, PP2/Nursery, LKG and UKG)
Early childhood education plays a crucial role in shaping brain development. According to studies by the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER), children who experience structured early childhood education in India show better academic outcomes later in life. The eKidz Programme has a play-based and child-centric curriculum that blends phonics, motor-skill development and social-emotional growth. Personal attention with optimal class sizes and a healthy teacher-student ratio in a safe and hygienic environment are prioritised that enhance the learning experience and gently introduce children to the world beyond their families.
eChamps: Laying a strong foundation
(Ages 6–11 | Primary Schooling| Classes 1–5)
The transition from early years to structured schooling can be challenging. Research published by the American Psychological Association (APA) highlights that personalised mentoring in primary school education and consistent feedback play a significant role in building confidence during this stage. The eChamps Programme focuses on the overall development of primary school children, starting with communication, social and emotional skills. For Classes 1 and 2, the programme emphasises activity-based learning, while Classes 3 to 5 benefit from experiential learning, fostering strong conceptual understanding. In this way, the basis for a strong personal foundation that nurtures curiosity and lifelong learning is firmly laid. Additionally, the Learner Support initiative identifies and addresses learning gaps according to individual student needs. This approach, along with Adoption Calling, ensures holistic growth and a positive learning experience.
eTechno: Preparing students for the competitive world ahead
(Ages 11–16 | Middle and Secondary Schooling |Classes 6–10)
Middle and secondary school years are often when students begin to form clear aspirations for higher education and careers. The eTechno Programme is designed to prepare middle and secondary school students for the competitive world. It focuses on the 4 C’s, Common Teaching, Common Microschedule, Common Examination and Common Analysis, combined with personalised error analysis and correction. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), in its Personalised Learning module, highlights that placing learners at the centre of instruction, guided by their needs and pace, fuels lifelong engagement with learning. Similarly, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), through its guidelines on Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), emphasises that embedding assessment as an ongoing and integral part of teaching rather than a standalone event significantly enhances both understanding and development. The programme also includes exposure to competitive exams like Olympiads and has a mental wellness programme, known as Disha.
