The Scindia School

The Scindia School, founded in 1897 by Maharaja Madhavrao Scindia, is one of India's most distinguished residential schools for boys, perched dramatically atop the historic Gwalior Fort in Madhya Pradesh. Affiliated with CBSE, the school admits students from Class V through Class XII (ages 10–18). Scindia is a member of the prestigious Indian Public Schools' Conference (IPSC) and Round Square, reflecting its commitment to holistic, values-based education. The school's 36-acre campus within a UNESCO World Heritage-adjacent fort is unparalleled in its historical setting, providing a unique and inspiring learning environment. Academic rigour is matched by a rich co-curricular program encompassing sports, performing arts, community service, and outdoor adventures. Scindia's alumni network spans government, business, Bollywood, and sports — a testament to the calibre of its graduates. Facilities include modern laboratories, a well-equipped library, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a 400-metre athletics track, and a dedicated arts block. The school’s motto — “Tejasvi Navadhitamastu” — reflects its aspiration for illumined learning.
