The New School
The current school runs out of an old rented building and is short of space. We plan to commence construction of a new building on land owned by GVET shorty. Land acquisition has been completed. Layout and design by architect as per CBSE guidelines and in process. We plan to construct 7500 sq ft planned in Ph 1, funded through grants, equity & bank loan.
We are happy to dedicate classrooms (costing between 6-8 Lakhs) or larger blocks (costing 10 Lakhs and upwards) to sponsors who wish to contribute. Rest assured these will reverberate with happy children for many years to come.
The Plan
A single-section school from Prep to Class 12, with 15 sections following NEP 2000 (5+3+3+4, i.e. Foundation, Prep, Middle and Secondary).
To be operationalised in 2 phases:
-
Phase 1 -Construction of academic and administrative buildings. The school will operate only up to Cl 10.
