In 1986 the Foundation began work on setting up of the school. Through the efforts of Sri. Achyut Patwardhan, and help from many well-wishers, the school was inaugurated on the 10th of September, 1995 (Krishnamurti Birth Centenary Year). This day is considered as the school's birthday and is celebrated by the school.
