The Curriculam

At Nachiar – The World School, we follow the CBSE curriculum, thoughtfully aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Our educational approach is designed to support every child’s growth through clearly defined learning stages — each tailored to their age, abilities, and evolving interests.

From nurturing curiosity in the early years to preparing students for higher education and life beyond school, each stage is built on the pillars of academic excellence, skill development, character building, and holistic well-being.
