This school is a member of the Indian Public Schools' Conference and is affiliated to the CISCE board. YPS offers an all-round education to its students. Apart from its magnificent stadium (built for the proposed Commonwealth Games in 1938), this co-educational school has a 25 metre swimming pool for its students, 3 full-sized grounds for hockey and football, one cricket field and horse riding grounds as the school owns several horses. In addition to this, the school offers other sporting facilities in the form of basketball, badminton and tennis courts. The school's focus, however, remain Cricket and Hockey.
