Why Choose Us ?

Our mission is to build a culture of excellence by empowering students with a holistic education, life skills, and values that enable them to become global citizens.

The language of instruction is English, We therefore accept both domestic and international students. In 2022, Nursery through Grade 12 will be offered at the school, with Grade 12 following in later years.

In our operations, we follow the famous Finnish method of teaching and learning which is enriched by the Indian elements. We think that in this rapidly changing globalised world, academic skills alone are not enough. Our students are equipped with competencies to apply the knowledge they learn at school whenever and wherever.

At the school, Finnish mentors and local teachers work in close collaboration. Every teacher has a teaching qualification and is trained in the teaching and learning methods used in Finland.

We believe learning happens at all times and everywhere. Because of this, we put a lot of emphasis on creating learning environments that support what we do. Our indoor, outdoor, digital, and emotional learning environments are built around innovative teaching methods and are carefully designed to be safe, comfortable, flexible, and inspire learning in all its forms.
