About the school

Modern School on Barakhamba Road is one of India's most storied educational institutions, having shaped the nation's intellectual, political, artistic, and professional landscape for over a century. Founded in 1920, the school has educated prime ministers, Nobel laureates, Olympic athletes, celebrated artists, and industry titans — an alumni roll call that no other school in Delhi can match. Affiliated with CBSE and offering classes from Nursery through Class XII, Modern School's century of existence has given it an institutional depth, a richness of tradition, and a standard of excellence that newer schools are still working towards. The Barakhamba Road campus is architecturally magnificent — a blend of heritage buildings and modern facilities that creates a campus unlike any other in Delhi. Science laboratories, a stunning auditorium, one of Delhi's finest school libraries, sports facilities, music rooms, and arts studios are all of the highest order. The teaching faculty includes some of Delhi's most accomplished educators, many of whom have made Modern School their life's work. CBSE board results are consistently outstanding. The school's proximity to Barakhamba Road Metro — just 300 metres — makes it uniquely accessible for a school of this calibre. Annual fees of ₹2.2 lakh to ₹3.4 lakh are significant but represent exceptional value for the institution delivered. Admission is extraordinarily competitive. A national treasure of Indian education.
