Twenty-eight years on one campus

New Horizon School has grown from rented rooms to a 12-acre campus in Whitefield. The children still walk in through a single gate.

History

Built in public, one wing at a time.

A group of parents and teachers started the school in 1998. The Rao family were among the first trustees. We added grades only when the previous ones were steady.

  1. 1998

    The school opens

    Nursery to Grade 4, 86 children, in rented rooms off Whitefield Main Road. English as the medium, with Hindi and Kannada from the first year.

  2. 2004

    The first board batch

    The first Grade 10 group writes the CBSE examination. The campus on Horizon Park Road is already the school's only address.

  3. 2012

    Senior secondary

    Grades 11 and 12 begin with Science and Commerce. We still do not offer Humanities, and we say so before a family applies.

  4. 2018

    The field and the court

    The sports ground and indoor court open. Houses take their names from rivers: Kaveri, Narmada, Godavari, and Tungabhadra.

  5. 2023

    Library and design studio

    The library gains a quiet senior room and a studio for art and design. Grade 11 students begin staffing the lunch-time reading room.

  6. 2026

    The same campus, fuller

    About 2,400 students, Nursery to Grade 12, still on these 12 acres. We are not opening a second branch.

Purpose

Vision and mission

Vision

People who can be trusted with work and with others.

We want students who read carefully, explain their thinking, and treat other people well when nobody is marking them for it.

Mission

A calm CBSE school, run properly.

Teach the syllabus properly. Keep classes a size we can teach. Leave real time in the week for labs, sport, art, and reading. Tell families the truth early.

Principal's message

Time, kept for the things that matter.

Parents often ask what we protect children from. I am more interested in what we protect time for. A child who reads every day, asks questions in the lab, and has one adult who notices when they go quiet will do well in an exam and, more importantly, after it.

We take the CBSE syllabus seriously. We simply refuse to let it become the whole day.

If you visit, look at the timetable rather than the brochure. That is where the school actually lives.

Who runs the school

Four people carry the day-to-day responsibility. You will meet at least one of them on a campus visit.

Dr. Meera Krishnan

Principal

Joined in 2014 after twelve years teaching chemistry. She still walks the corridors during period two.

Leela Nair

Head of Academics

Looks after the timetable, department reviews, and the reading programme from Nursery to Grade 12.

Joseph Mathew

Director of Administration

Transport, fees, the front office, and the promise that a phone call is returned the same day.

Achievements

The last year, in numbers we can show you.

Ask the office for the subject-wise sheet. We would rather you see it than read a slogan.
