National Public School (or NPS-RNR or NPS-R) is a school located in Bangalore, India, and established in 1959 by K. P. Gopalkrishna. Its main campus is located on Chord Road, 5th block, Rajajinagar. The campus comprises four buildings which house the classrooms, labs and auditorium.
The school is one of the few schools in India given full autonomy by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Classes generally consist of 30–40 children, and the total student strength is 1800. In September 2016, CBSE withdrew its affiliation to the school after it was accused of forging minority certificates for granting admissions under the RTE Act. In the same month, the Karnataka High Court granted a stay order on the disaffiliation of the school and restored full affiliation.
It is one of only two schools in the country to have been granted full autonomy by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Many students have made it to Indian Institutes of Technology, Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani, National Institutes of Technology, NLSIU and AIIMS, and many have later made it to universities such as MIT, Stanford University, University of Oxford, University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University, London School of Economics, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore . NPS has traditionally done well at the International Brain Bee Competition. It is also known to be quite racist towards its students as evidenced by the recent scandal regarding the Right to Education act.
Students are divided among four houses: Phoenix (blue), Centaur (red), Pegasus (yellow), and Orion (green). Two trophies are awarded at the end of the year to the winning house. One is based on the performance of the house in athletics referred to as the Sports Cup, while the second is based upon the house members' performance in the clubs (Theater, Science, Math, Quiz, Computers, Eco, Ekta (Integrity and Health)).
