Before we jump to the answer, we’d like you to think about which word comes to your mind when you think about the most powerful word in the English language?
For us, it is ‘YET’
We wholeheartedly agree with Carol Dweck's 'Growth Mindset' theory that emphasises the power of the word 'yet'. Carol Dweck is a professor of psychology at Stanford University, USA and decades of research have gone behind this study. In fact, people today attribute that Albert Einstein exhibited a 'growth mindset' almost a century ago!
Coming back to the word 'yet, imagine a scenario where your child is struggling with a maths problem, and he comes to you and says, "I can't do it", and what will you say to the child. Now, imagine the same maths struggle scenario, but this time, he comes to you and says, "I can't do it yet."
The word 'yet' changes the whole essence of struggle and accomplishment. It bridges the gap towards achievement and gives the child the confidence that it's not his ability but just a matter of time that he masters the challenge. The word 'yet' builds on resilience and problem-solving and keeps the hope kindled.
We, at NWS, foster an environment to nurture the power of 'yet' in our students. Our students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort and persistence. Our teachers carry the same mindset while setting their teaching goals. Our combined efforts have resulted in NWS being the best CBSE day school in Uttar Pradesh.

Till we meet next, we hope you embrace the power of 'yet'!
