The British School

The British School in New Delhi is unique. Not just because it is home to a rich cultural mix of almost 850 students with over 55 nationalities ranging from ages 3 to 18 years. Nor because it operates a not-for-profit system with an inclusive approach. The reason is simple - it is more than a school. It is a family. The school was started in July 1963 by a group of British parents with 40 students representing six nationalities in a residential colony. They were supported by the British High Commissioner. In 1969, the school moved to its present site in Chanakyapuri, the heart of diplomatic area. Today it is still owned and managed by students' parents who form The British School Society.
