The Indian School

Class 10 students at The Indian School became mentors running a peer workshop called 'Light in Action' for Classes 6 and 7, demonstrating reflection, refraction, dispersion, scattering of light, and total internal reflection through hands-on activities.
We believe the deepest learning happens when students teach each other. Light in Action was proof of exactly that.

During Literary Week 2026, The Indian School hosted 8 extraordinary voices — authors, storytellers, editors, a theatre director, and a retired general.
5 days. 8 sessions. Every class from Bal Vatika to Class XII. Each session a different world, each speaker a different lens on life, learning, and literature.

On 28 April, students of Class IV explored Sunder Nursery and the Humayun's Tomb Museum — 90 acres of heritage park, over 500 Mughal artefacts, and one unforgettable lesson in history, nature, and what a city becomes when it honours its past.

Chapter 2 is here! During Literary Week at The Indian School, our young Indianites dressed up as their favourite story characters — and explained exactly why they chose them. Some chose bravery. Some chose kindness. Some chose joy. Every reason was honest and completely their own. Keep reading, Indianites. 📖

On 7 April 2026, 15 students of Class XII from The Indian School visited Rakhigarhi — one of the largest Harappan civilisation sites in India. Led by Nakul Chhabra, founder of History Beyond Books, they explored live excavations, a site museum, ancient remains, and 5,000 years of history. A day that made the past feel real — not distant.

Literary Week at The Indian School brought something truly special this year. On 20th April, young learners dressed up as their favourite story characters — and did something even more meaningful than wearing a costume. They stood up and explained why.
Bal Ganesha and Little Krishna. Rani Lakshmi Bai and Noah. Harry Potter and the Thirsty Crow. Elsa, Masha, Daniel Tiger, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and a group of four friends who all chose to be superheroes — because superheroes help everyone.
Each child had a reason. Some chose bravery. Some chose kindness. Some chose cleverness. Some chose joy. Some simply found a character who made them laugh — and knew that was reason enough.
This is chapter 1 of 2. Chapter 2 coming soon.

On 18 April 2026, students of Classes III, IV, and V attended a Road Safety Workshop with Mr Manpreet Singh — Safety Advisor with 13 years of experience, associated with the Delhi Traffic Police. They practised crossing rules on stage, answered questions, and left knowing safety is a lifelong habit.

There is something a child knows that the rest of us forget.
That a stone is not just a stone. That a fallen leaf still has colour in it. That waste, looked at gently, is still the world.
Students from Classes 4 to 10 gathered waste materials, stones, and fallen leaves — and made self-portraits from them. Sitting on the ground, unhurried, each one arranging found things into a face. Their own face.
Each portrait reflected the uniqueness of the student who made it. And each one quietly said something about reuse, about recycling, about respecting what nature leaves behind.
At The Indian School, we have always believed that learning goes beyond classrooms. Some lessons are best taught outside, on open ground, with nothing but the earth's discards and a child's imagination.
These children already know how to see. We just made sure they had the time.

Class 6 students built working lung models, explored body systems, watched science shows, competed in quizzes at National Science Centre. Complex biology became simple through hands-on learning.
See how doing, not just reading, creates real understanding. Curiosity sparked here.

Symbolically, at the beginning of each year, The Indian School students embark on a self-exploration, first through drawing and painting, specially for the little ones, and later through writing.

In the beginning only a couple of sentences, then perhaps a poem or a paragraph or both, then an essay and finally, by the time students reach class X, self discovery becomes a chapter in an autobiography.

Through this exercise students learn to evaluate themselves, more importantly, at their own pace and thus prepare for choices in life. We ask teachers to collect these exercises and place them in a special album so that at the end of 14 years of school, they have a wonderful and unique record of the child’s progress to preserve for posterity.
