Progressive Education. Rooted in Values.
Every child arrives carrying a different world within them. Some are curious from the beginning. Some bloom slowly. Some ask endless questions. Some quietly observe before they speak. At Nalanda International School, education is designed to honour every one of these journeys.
Founded in Vadodara in 2004 by the Nalanda Knowledge Foundation, the school was built on the simple and enduring belief that education must shape not only the intellect, but also character, sensitivity, confidence, and perspective.
Across a lush green campus, learning unfolds through academics, conversations, creativity, sports, experiences, friendships, discipline, and discovery.
Students are encouraged not merely to score well, but to think independently, express honestly, remain grounded in values, and grow into capable human beings prepared for an ever-changing world. Rooted in the spirit of 'Vidya', Nalanda views education as a lifelong process of becoming.
Academic Excellence
Learning at Nalanda goes beyond rote learning.
Children are encouraged to question, explore, analyse, discuss, create, and truly understand what they learn. The ICSE–ISC curriculum is approached not as a race for marks, but as a foundation for clarity of thought, intellectual curiosity, and lifelong confidence.
From their earliest years to Senior School, children at Nalanda are guided with patience, care, and individual attention as they grow into lifelong learners and confident individuals.
At Nalanda International School, our mission has always been to nurture students by strengthening their cultural roots and enabling them to realise their utmost potential.
Campus Culture
Some schools are remembered for their buildings. Others are remembered for how they make children feel.
Nalanda's award-winning 20-acre, green campus is designed as a place where learning breathes naturally. Open courtyards, shaded walkways, playgrounds, studios, and classrooms come together to create an environment where children feel safe to explore, express, imagine, and grow.
Even years later, most of our alumni remember the campus as a place filled with joy, friendships, memories, and growth.
Beyond Academics
Some of the most important lessons in childhood are learned outside a classroom.
On sports fields. Backstage before a performance. During nature camps. Inside art rooms. While building something with their hands.
At Nalanda, sports, arts, leadership opportunities, camps, and cultural activities are woven deeply into school life, helping students discover confidence, resilience, collaboration, empathy, and joy.
Admissions
Choosing a school is one of the most personal decisions a family makes. We invite parents to experience Nalanda firsthand. To walk through the campus, meet educators, observe the environment, and understand the philosophy that shapes everyday life here.
Admissions remain open through the year, subject to availability.
