History
The National Public School group was founded in 1959 by Dr. K.P. Gopalkrishna, an educationist with a visionary approach to schooling. The first NPS school was established in Bangalore, Karnataka, and quickly gained a reputation for its innovative curriculum and focus on all-round development. The success of the initial school led to the establishment of multiple branches, both within Bangalore and other parts of India.{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/2011/02/03/forbes-india-bindu-hari-national-public-school-six-lessons.html|title=Six Lessons For Parents|website=Forbes}} Newer campuses and franchise schools, such as NPS ITPL (established in 2018) and NPS North (opened in 2022), continue to carry forward the group’s legacy.{{Cite web |title=Best CBSE School in North Bangalore, Yelahanka {{!}} National Public School |url=https://npsnorth.com/ |access-date=2024-11-05 |website=NPS North |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Best CBSE School in ITPL Bangalore, Kadugodi {{!}} National Public School |url=https://npsitpl.com/ |access-date=2024-11-05 |website=NPS ITPL |language=en-GB}}
