At the entrance of the spacious two-storey building of the High School, stand two beautiful sculptures of the Goddess Saraswati and Pragna Paramita.
The school is a co-educational K through 12 institution. The campus has separate buildings for Kindergarten, Junior-High and High School.
The school was selected as a multipurpose school for fine arts under the Government of India scheme. Students at early age are encouraged to learn personal discipline and responsibility to the society. The school is based on Gandhian values and require students to wear Khadi (hand-spun cotton) clothes as their uniform. Children in all classes are encouraged to sweep and clean their own classrooms and mingle with fellow-students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
