Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar

The Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar is a CBSE-affiliated private school in New Delhi, India. We provide education for students from Nursery (age 3+) to Class XII, with a total of 1850 students. We have three sections in each class up to Class X, with 40-45 students per section. We have four sections for Classes XI-XII: Science (medical), Science (non-medical), Commerce, and Humanities. While maintaining a strong focus on academic excellence, our school prepares students for the 21st century through an emphasis on technology, holistic development, extra- and co-curricular activities, and international exposure.

50 years later, the school still runs on these foundational principles. Given the school fees, we provide one of the broadest varieties of extracurricular opportunities in NCR to our students. We ingrain a global mindset, be it through the 15 nationalities of students that have studied in our school, or by being the only school in India conducting a decade-long distance-learning program with a school in China. We run multiple school-wide social service programs, with nearly every senior student giving back in some way. Critical thinking is encouraged, with teachers leading discussions during zero periods for younger students, and a weekly debate-format class for Classes XI-XII conducted by the school leadership. The school community develops social-emotional skills through our mental health and well-being programs, which range from peer mentoring and life skills workshops for students to parenting classes and teacher sensitization for the adults. Lastly, we strongly uphold inclusive and secular values, be it through our pioneering LGBTQI rights campaign for schools, or through admitting a percentage of differently-abled students every year, who are then actively supported through a peer buddy program.
