NIOS Training
Creating Flexible Learning Pathways for Every Child
Choosing an alternative academic path can feel uncertain. We’re here to help you explore your options with clarity, guidance, and no pressure. Our goal is to help families make informed decisions that support long-term learning and emotional well-being.
Not every learner thrives in a traditional school system. Stepping Stones Center offers dedicated support for children and young adults pursuing the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) curriculum. Our goal is to help neurodiverse students, including those with autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities, succeed academically in a way that respects their pace, interests, and strengths.
What Is NIOS?
The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is a recognized government body that offers flexible education options for learners from elementary to secondary levels. It is ideal for:
- Students who need a non-traditional pace of learning
- Children with learning or developmental differences
- Those who need alternative assessment methods
- Learners who may have faced challenges in mainstream schooling
NIOS provides curriculum options at the primary, secondary, and senior secondary levels, with subject flexibility, tutor-marked assignments, and exam accommodations.
Who Is This Program For?
Our NIOS training and learning support is designed for:
- Students with autism, ADHD, or specific learning disabilities
- Children who struggle with standard classroom expectations
- Students transitioning from therapy-based programs
- Young learners who need life skills integrated with academics
Parents seeking home-schooling alternatives with expert guidance
