The School is recognized by the ICSE Council, Delhi. 

The School has partnered with Helen O'Grady, with the Raman Science Center, with the Rotary Club (Interact) and other distinguished organizations to aid in all round development of the child.

 
The ICSE Council
The ICSE syllabus has a distinct advantage over others. The ICSE curriculum prepares the child for higher studies and competitive exams. ICSE's flexibility allows the student to opt for subjects of his/her interest. ICSE standards give the student an edge over their counterparts in higher studies.  They have only two language papers English and Hindi as against the SSC students who have three language papers which is very difficult to score in. The marks are complemented by compulsory project work that requires the students to explore the subject and write his or her own understanding of it. It is very essential that we move with the times and the Schools decision to follow ICSE curriculum is one such step in this direction.
