According to Sujay Jairaj, trustee, “The overall development of ‘India’ as a country – the dream of India Vision 2020 by our former revered President of India – can only be accomplished by giving a strong foundation to our youth. Any K-12 School with time needs to change the technology, infrastructure, systems, procedures and everything that is tangible. But what should remain constant here is our values, our culture & our philosophy – creating an Indian school with International Standards.”
