We believe that students achieve higher levels of academic success if they are meaningfully engaged and given the opportunity for choice, so student-driven inquiry and project-based learning are central to our curricula. We also provide a Civic Pathways course where students explore their deepest interests and passions. All students complete postsecondary planning; every student leaves NCP with an identified success plan. Beginning in Fall 2023, all students will also participate in bi-monthly team meetings where they set goals with their supporters on recovery, behavioral/mental health, academics, and postsecondary planning. We believe that an ethic of care where students are seen and heard is the key to dismantling distrust, sculpting connection, and making progress in a learning community.
The Research and Development department at Nirmala College of Pharmacy, Muvattupuzha is well structured, encouraging faculty and students to engage in meaningful research activities and supporting them in converting their research outcomes into patents, and publications on entrepreneurship ventures.
