Spread across 19 Acres of the lush green patch of Rishi Valley, our school is a little paradise for our students who usually belong from the concrete jungle. They learn to live in sync with Mother Nature and try to appreciate all the gifts it provides to us. Students learn to acclimatize with the surrounding like all other species and learn to care about its diversity, which we strongly believe is the most important lesson to be learned. Our school has a perfect balance of exposure to nature as well as latest technologies to provide complete knowledge to the students. Knowledge about 3D printing is as important as the knowledge about farming. Our state of the art “Knowledge Centers” help our kids to experience Learning by Doing.
