It has been 20 glorious years; Indraprastha SCHOOLS have become synonym for excellence in quality education, carving a niche for themselves, scripting success stories for the future generations to cherish. The group of schools have been igniting and encouraging young minds to pursue their dreams today and tomorrow. The institutions have succeeded in establishing themselves as premier Indian schools, which offers quality education with an international edge and exposure.
Indraprastha SCHOOLS, not just bricks and mortar, justifying the school motto, ‘Teach Each Child, Develop Whole Child.’ are a community with a vision, value and culture nurturing educational zeal among young learners. Established with a single vision of imparting eminence through constant innovations in the field of education and making a difference in the life of every child, the schools stand tall, setting new benchmarks in every sphere of life.
Every year Indraprastha SCHOOLS celebrate the Founders’ Day on April 2, to renew their commitment and dedication towards the noble cause of imparting value-based education to children and raise a generation which is more responsible and dedicated towards the society and the world.

Rana, who dreamt of an educational institution that encompasses academic excellence to raise a generation of model international citizens ready to face the challenges of tomorrow. Their vision invariably firm as the constant polestar has widened its radiance in a span of two decades and added more verve and vitality to the institute. The architect who gave shape and form to the dreams of our visionaries is our revered Managing Director, Dr Rajesh Hassija, an educational stalwart, who firmly believes that “children are flowers grown in a concrete garden.”
We aim at actuating the child’s own desire to learn and develop the latent potential of each child to be the trailblazers for the generations to come. As gardeners, we nurture children and make them realise that excellence is the upshot of commitment, hard work and perseverance. As an institution, we prepare our young learners to be resilient and strong future global citizens. They would, as we envisage, not only be the ambassadors of our rich cultural heritage but also the potential instruments of positive social change and awakening in the world at large. Indeed, over the years, Indraprastha has evolved as a ‘School of Excellence’ striving to make every child grow as an engaged learner, imbued with 21st century competencies, rooted in values.
Every year on April 2, Indraprastha SCHOOLS celebrate Founder’s Day with great enthusiasm. This day allows us to recognize and reap the benefits of the dreams of our visionaries and build a strong future on the foundation of their experiences. We perceive education as the foundation for all growth and development. It is, indeed, not an end, but a means for creating an enlightened, progressive and peaceful society.
As we enter the third decade of our inception, we look forward to setting new benchmarks, aiming to conquer unmapped territories and achieve greater heights of accomplishments.
