EDUCATIONAL POLICIES OF NISHEMAN

Medium of Instruction

For two decades after its inception, Nisheman School was primarily an English medium school, catering to the educational needs of the elite and maintaining high standards through English instruction. However, recognizing the need to empower the poor through education, BUNI schools began admitting students from lower strata of society. English remains the medium of instruction, but there is an awareness that difficult concepts are better assimilated when imparted in one’s mother tongue. The BUNI educators realized that education is most effective in one's native language, drawing inspiration from leading countries where students are taught in their own language.

Co-Education

With the advent of the modern era, nuclear families became popular, and women began to play major roles in society. Thus, it has become imperative to provide them with proper educational opportunities. India has tremendous potential in its women population, which has been neglected for centuries. Our co- educational system ensures that girls receive the same quality education as boys, preparing them for significant roles in society.

House System

At Nisheman School, our pioneers understood the importance of character formation and personality development. To encourage healthy competition and foster a sense of community, we introduced the house system in 1960. Each house is named after a biblical figure or concept, reflecting our values and traditions.

House Names:

1. House of Faith - Named after the virtue of unwavering belief and trust, this house represents the strength of character and perseverance.
2. House of Hope - Symbolizing optimism and the expectation of a brighter future, this house encourages resilience and a positive outlook.
3. House of Charity - Inspired by the spirit of compassion and generosity, this house emphasizes kindness and support for others.
4. House of Wisdom - Reflecting the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, this house values intellectual growth and thoughtful decision-making.
5. These houses not only foster a sense of belonging but also promote values that guide our students throughout their academic journey and beyond.

	Rooted in Hebrews 11:1 – “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This motto reminds us that faith gives us the strength to endure, trust in God’s promises, and stand firm in our beliefs.		Based on 1 Corinthians 13:13 – “And now these three remain: faith, hope and charity (love). But the greatest of these is charity.” This motto reflects the biblical call to love generously, act selflessly, and serve others with an open heart.
	Inspired by Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him.” This motto encourages students to trust in God's goodness and face the future with joyful anticipation and confidence.		Echoing Proverbs 9:10 – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” This motto invites students to seek true understanding through reverence for God, making wise, thoughtful choices that reflect divine truth.
