art technological aids, own fleet of buses, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, scientifically devised curriculum and activity based teaching process is focused to provide quality education of

global standards to the learners.

The Indian Heights School is established by the eminent educationist Mrs. Madhu Gupta, a person with a vision to nurture the young minds with intellectual knowledge, practical skills and technological proficiency so that they emerge as well balanced, confident young citizens and productive members of the society.

The school has well equipped laboratories and a full-fledged library to support and augment the curriculum. The scientific temperament is cultivated by ways of practical and activity based learning. E-learning, Video Conference Set-up, Computer Lab, Smart Board and LCD in each classroom ensures techno-savvy learning. Physical activity is encouraged and systematic training in sports and athletics is part of the daily routine.

School upholds the motto of ‘Gyanam Brahmam’ from Sanskrit which literally means ‘Knowledge is Universe’. It conveys the message that knowledge unlocks the door to a new world of opportunities and paves the way to achieve new heights. The Indian Heights School takes pride in imparting education that goes beyond the parameters of formal schools and prepares children to face the challenges of life and take their rightful place in the modern world, keeping ‘The Indian Heights’ flag flying high.

About The School

It is often said that ‘One should never look Back, But Ahead while On the Move’, but I feel it becomes very much necessary that we should take a look into our past to gain wisdom and learn from it. this comes as a big source of inspiration to us and also give us ‘Corrections’ if required to reach our set ‘Goals’ and ‘Mission’.

I believe that students should be encouraged to aim high and guided to do their best in every field so as to achieve their full potential. I feel gratified that we are able to prepare our students who not only enjoy and excel in classrooms but outside too. these are exemplified in their outstanding performances in the examinations, the eclectic mix of activities they engage in, the ability to work individually and as a team and their celebration of diversity and internationalism is among other attributes and accomplishments.

As our school continues to define new bench marks and scale new heights, I look forward to the support of our parents in building this culture of excellence and values. whatever we have accomplished is due to the combined efforts of the parents and the teaching staff. this togetherness creates a ‘symphony’ which helps us to move ceaselessly and is also the ‘essence’ of our vision.

Archana Narain

since its foundation, the Indian Heights school has grown up to become one of the most respected and influential co-educational school. we are committed to serve our students by providing quality education. we endeavour to nurture our relationship with the pupils and parents who place profound faith in us.
