We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and we hope that in a small way it can help them through these trying times. He will be truly missed and remembered.

Childrens Crec`he, Malloya Village

Three students form our school, Harshita Saxena, Nitish Bansal and Mudit Manocha; spent a part of their summer break in a fruitful and engaging manner by giving their time towards a creche run for underprivileged children in Malloya village. Their time was spent in teaching subject basics, imparting new skills, and engaging with the children through new games, song and rhyme. This is just one of the many ways in which education is made more meaningful and enriching by providing opportunities for all students at our school; to explore and discover their true calling and interests.
