IES has decided to venture into teaching ICSE curriculum in two schools—ORION at Dadar East & MANIK VIDYAMANDIR at Bandra Reclamation. At IES ORION we strongly believe in goals. A goal that is clearly defined represents a real commitment. Without commitment, goals are merely dreams. Hence, we have defined goals to make education an ever-evolving process. The academic atmosphere at the Indian Education society ORION is a rare blend of modern day technical skills and the traditional emphasis on imparting knowledge. An institution with difference, building progressive thinkers and to create a safe, secured, valued environment directing to an ambitious, challenging and ongoing future. To develop students with a "can-do attitude" and who can focus on improvement and raising achievement.
