The school sits on a campus of more than 116,000 sq. ft. in Punjabi Bagh, Govindpura -- 9,997 sq. ft. of built-up teaching space and an 8,202 sq. ft. playground.
Classrooms, laboratories and the library take the space they need, and the rest is open ground for games, assembly and the annual sports day.
- Digital smart classrooms across the senior school
- An auditorium for seminars and cultural programmes
- Indoor and outdoor games through the year

Our school is built on a foundation of values that promotes respect, empathy and kindness. We strive to create a safe, inclusive and supportive environment that allows each student to grow and thrive.
Our curriculum is designed to be challenging, engaging and relevant, with a focus on developing critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills.
We believe every student has the potential to succeed and make a positive impact -- in academics, sports, leadership or enterprise.
