“We are delighted to be ranked India’s best Central government day school for the third year in succession with top scores for teacher welfare and development, co-curricular and sports education. This reflects not only our academic achievements but also our dedication to nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with the values and life skills required for success in the armed forces and other workplaces. We accord high importance to sports education because it develops students’ teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness. And our highest score under leadership/management is a tribute not only to the management but also our students who are destined to become leaders. To develop leadership skills we conduct periodic workshops featuring industry leaders to teach our students essential negotiation, teamwork, and strategic thinking skills vital for effective leadership.” — Neetu Kapoor, Principal, APS Delhi Cantt (3,560 students mentored by 155 teachers)

“Being ranked India’s #1 Central government day school for two years in a row is wonderful news! It is the outcome of the dedication, hard work and excellence demonstrated by the entire school community. I am especially pleased that our teachers have been awarded a very high score under the parameter of competence of faculty and highest score for curriculum and pedagogy. This is because innovations such as flipped classroom teaching is practised extensively supplemented with quizzes, Kahoot, Jamboard, colour wheel, virtual labs etc. Teacher welfare and development is also an important focus area for us. Our #1 ranking in the prestigious EWISR obliges us to maintain our top rank by continuing to adapt to the changing educational landscape to prepare students to assume leadership positions in the defence services and society” — Dr. Nandana Khare, Principal, Navy Children School, Colaba, Mumbai (2,224 students mentored by 110 teachers).
