Cambridge Pathway

Their Cambridge Pathway is for students aged 5 to 19. Its wide range of subjects and flexibility gives schools the chance to shape the curriculum so that it is exciting and relevant for their own students.
Cambridge Pathway students have the chance to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to achieve at school, university and beyond.
The four stages lead seamlessly from primary to secondary and pre-university years. Each stage – Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, Cambridge Upper Secondary and Cambridge Advanced – builds on the learners’ development from the previous one, but can also be offered separately.

Director’s Message - Centre Point School International




Director’s Message

In 1979, when my mother, Aruna Upadhyaya started her kindergarten with 80 children, nobody foresaw the meteoric rise that would follow.Since then, conversations around our family dinner table were dominated by school issues; children, teachers and parents. It was organic, the way our close family of 4 would put our heads together to come up with solutions, no matter how large or small. Thus it was, that at the tender age of 5, my training in education began.
The two things that my mother said constantly, were-
1. Keep the child at the centre of your decisions, and you will never go wrong.
and
2. Trust your gut.
Armed with this dinner-table training and a genuine love for the schools that had been like siblings to me, I went to the UK and the USA for professional training in education. 12 years later, I came back to run the schools, and give my mother, who, until then had run the schools day-to-day, a much needed retirement.


I’ve been at the helm of the schools for 5 years now, and it’s time for the next step. I feel confident taking a giant leap in a new direction. One, that I believe, will change the face of education in Nagpur – a new school, with an International Cambridge curriculum.
I believe that as responsible human beings, we must constantly evolve into better versions of ourselves. This holds true for education too. With the new Cambridge Curriculum, we hope to inspire our children to be confident, responsible, reflective, engaged and innovative learners and citizens. In Centre Point School International, we will constantly train ourselves, to give you and your children the very best of this dynamic curriculum.
Keeping the Joy Quotient of students at the forefront, I feel confident that Centre Point School International will scale dizzying heights, while ably embodying our motto – ‘Est optimum resurgemus’, or ‘Rise to your best’.


Futuristic Infrastructure - Centre Point School International, Nagpur

All New Pre-engineered Building (PEB) Technology

All New Pre-engineered Building (PEB) Technology

Using prefabricated steel columns and beams, this technology is commonly used in Japanese and American buildings. This is a highly efficient and time-saving method, as can be seen in our school building which will be completed in less than one year from breaking ground. It also results in much lower consumption of cement, hence ends up saving a large amount of water as well.

Green Structure with LEED Certification

Green Structure with LEED Certification

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design. We are following all requirements for achieving the certification for LEED – Green schools design. This will include all considerations from materials used in construction, energy consumption of the structure and even furniture used in the building.

Lightweight Gypsum Board Drywall Partitions

Lightweight Gypsum Board Drywall Partitions

Instead of brick walls, we are using drywall partitions in the inner structure, which will keep the weight of the building lower and allow flexibility in space allocation, while also providing excellent heat insulation.

Solar Power Catering to 70% of our Energy Requirement

Solar Power Catering to 70% of our Energy Requirement

We will have approximately 100KW of rooftop solar power, which will cater to over 70% of our power needs. This includes power for air conditioning, classroom lighting, computer systems and even heating of the swimming pool.
