Spread across an expansive 9.5-acre campus in Hyderabad’s Serilingampally suburb in the University of Hyderabad neighbourhood is the purpose-built CHIREC International School (CIS). Established in 2010 in its erstwhile Kondapur campus, CIS moved to a new state-of-the-art campus in 2024. Since it admitted its first batch of students in Kondapur in 2010, the school has established a national reputation for providing 21st-century, globally benchmarked holistic education to its 3,210 students mentored by 328 highly qualified teachers. In the EW India School Rankings 2025–26, this pre-primary to Grade XII school, affiliated with the Cambridge (UK) and IB (Geneva) curricula, is recognised among India’s Top 10 & Hyderabad’s leading International Day Schools. More recently, CIS was recognised as the International School of the Year 2025-26 and awarded a special prize for Architecture and Design by the EducationWorld Grand Jury.

Since it was promoted three decades ago, as a new-age preschool offering globally inspired early childhood care and education, responding to insistent public demand, CIS has evolved into a full-fledged K-12 international day school by introducing the Cambridge International curriculum in 2009 and the IBDP curriculum of the International Baccalaureate in 2012. In 2019, CHIREC schools including CIS were acquired by the UK-based Cognita Group, which owns and operates 90 private schools across 21 countries worldwide.
