About Lady Andal Open School - NIOS

Lady Andal Open School (NIOS) offers a flexible, student-centred learning pathway through the NIOS programme. We believe education should adapt to the learner — their pace, strengths, and aspirations.

Our supportive, non-traditional environment is ideal for neurodivergent and LD learners, aspiring athletes, artists, and students who thrive beyond rigid school systems. With integrated academics and therapy under one roof, we ensure holistic development and emotional well-being. Students benefit from flexible schedules, customised learning speeds, and the freedom to choose from over 18 subjects.
