It holds the distinction of being the first private, co-educational school in Delhi after the capital shifted from Kolkata to New Delhi.\n\nThe founding principal, Kamala Bose from Calcutta, was an advocate for educational reform. Together with Singh’s nationalist ideals, they established a liberal and indigenous character for the school, differing from elitist, colonially-inspired public schools of that era. The school’s motto, “Nyaymatma Balheenien Labhya” (“Self-realization cannot be achieved by the weak”), reflects its commitment to resilience and self-discovery.\n\n---\n\n## Architectural and Cultural Symbolism\n\nThe school’s crest, designed by artist Sarada Ukil in the 1920s, symbolizes the holistic educational philosophy: the circle of eternity intersected by body, mind, and spirit.

Mehra, and prominent figures in law and administration (MySchoolReviews). The school’s emphasis on leadership, ethics, and social responsibility has enabled its graduates to significantly impact Indian society and beyond.\n\n---\n\n## Institutional Legacy and Expansion\n\nThe success of the Barakhamba Road branch inspired sister schools in Vasant Vihar (1975), Kundli (2014), Faridabad, and Ghaziabad, spreading its educational philosophy throughout the National Capital Region (Wikipedia).

This act of philanthropy laid the foundation for what would become one of India’s most respected schools (Modern School History).\n\nLala Raghubir Singh’s philosophy was straightforward yet profound: to provide an education that met the needs of children in a changing world.

Established in 1920, it has played a pivotal role in shaping generations of leaders, thinkers, and artists. The school’s blend of tradition and modernity, its commitment to holistic education, and its central location make it a point of interest not only for prospective students and parents but also for tourists, historians, and cultural enthusiasts.\n\nThis guide is designed to provide a thorough understanding of Modern School’s legacy, its present-day relevance, and practical advice for those wishing to visit or learn more about this esteemed institution.\n\n---\n\n## Historical Overview\n\n### Founding Vision\n\nModern School was founded in 1920 by Lala Raghubir Singh, a visionary businessman and philanthropist from Delhi. His ambition was to create an institution that would harmonize the best of ancient Indian traditions with the demands of a rapidly modernizing society. The school’s establishment was made possible through the generous donation of a sprawling mansion in Daryaganj by Lala Sultan Singh, Raghubir Singh’s father. This act of philanthropy laid the foundation for what would become one of India’s most respected schools (Modern School History).\n\nLala Raghubir Singh’s philosophy was straightforward yet profound: to provide an education that met the needs of children in a changing world. He collaborated with Sardar Sobha Singh, a renowned contractor instrumental in building New Delhi, to realize this vision. The school’s motto, “Education is what education does,” encapsulates its pragmatic and progressive approach.\n\n### Key Milestones\n\n- 1920: Modern School is established in Daryaganj, New Delhi.\n- 1930s: The school gains prominence, attracting notable visitors such as Rabindranath Tagore (1936) and Sir John Sargent (1938).\n- Relocation and Expansion: The government initially allotted a 50-acre plot on Cantonment Road, but the site was deemed too remote. Eventually, a more suitable location was secured near the new city, leading to the establishment of the current campus on Barakhamba Road (Modern School Our History).\n- Golden Jubilee and Centenary: The school celebrated its Golden Jubilee (50 years) and, more recently, its Centenary (100 years) in 2020, marking a century of educational excellence (Modern School Centenary).\n\n### Notable Alumni and Visitors\n\nModern School has produced a distinguished roster of alumni who have excelled in diverse fields, including politics, arts, science, and business. The school’s reputation has attracted visits from luminaries such as Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, further cementing its status as a cultural and intellectual hub (Modern School History).\n\n---\n\n## Significance of Modern School\n\n### Educational Philosophy\n\nModern School’s educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that true education extends beyond textbooks. The institution emphasizes holistic development, integrating academics with sports, arts, and co-curricular activities. Experiential learning is encouraged through innovative methods such as flipped classrooms and reflection sheets. The school’s guiding principle is to “turn mirrors into windows,” inspiring students to look beyond themselves and engage with the world (Modern School Academics).\n\nThe school is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and students regularly participate in the All India Secondary School Examination (AISSE) and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination (AISSCE). The curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and leadership.\n\n### Role in Indian Society\n\nModern School occupies a unique place in Indian society. As one of the first co-educational private schools in Delhi, it broke new ground in promoting gender equality and inclusivity. The school’s admission policy is non-discriminatory, welcoming students regardless of caste, creed, race, status, or gender (Edufever Modern School).\n\nOver the decades, Modern School has contributed significantly to the intellectual and cultural life of India. Its alumni include prominent politicians, artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs who have shaped the nation’s destiny.\n\n### Cultural and Social Impact\n\nModern School is not just an academic institution; it is a cultural landmark. The school hosts a wide array of events, from art exhibitions and music concerts to debates and sports tournaments. These activities foster a vibrant community spirit and provide students with opportunities to develop their talents and interests.\n\nThe school’s commitment to social responsibility is evident in its emphasis on values such as leadership, commitment, excellence, and social conscience.

This act of philanthropy laid the foundation for what would become one of India’s most respected schools (Modern School History).\n\nLala Raghubir Singh’s philosophy was straightforward yet profound: to provide an education that met the needs of children in a changing world.

Established in 1920, it has played a pivotal role in shaping generations of leaders, thinkers, and artists. The school’s blend of tradition and modernity, its commitment to holistic education, and its central location make it a point of interest not only for prospective students and parents but also for tourists, historians, and cultural enthusiasts.\n\nThis guide is designed to provide a thorough understanding of Modern School’s legacy, its present-day relevance, and practical advice for those wishing to visit or learn more about this esteemed institution.\n\n---\n\n## Historical Overview\n\n### Founding Vision\n\nModern School was founded in 1920 by Lala Raghubir Singh, a visionary businessman and philanthropist from Delhi. His ambition was to create an institution that would harmonize the best of ancient Indian traditions with the demands of a rapidly modernizing society. The school’s establishment was made possible through the generous donation of a sprawling mansion in Daryaganj by Lala Sultan Singh, Raghubir Singh’s father. This act of philanthropy laid the foundation for what would become one of India’s most respected schools (Modern School History).\n\nLala Raghubir Singh’s philosophy was straightforward yet profound: to provide an education that met the needs of children in a changing world. He collaborated with Sardar Sobha Singh, a renowned contractor instrumental in building New Delhi, to realize this vision. The school’s motto, “Education is what education does,” encapsulates its pragmatic and progressive approach.\n\n### Key Milestones\n\n- 1920: Modern School is established in Daryaganj, New Delhi.\n- 1930s: The school gains prominence, attracting notable visitors such as Rabindranath Tagore (1936) and Sir John Sargent (1938).\n- Relocation and Expansion: The government initially allotted a 50-acre plot on Cantonment Road, but the site was deemed too remote. Eventually, a more suitable location was secured near the new city, leading to the establishment of the current campus on Barakhamba Road (Modern School Our History).\n- Golden Jubilee and Centenary: The school celebrated its Golden Jubilee (50 years) and, more recently, its Centenary (100 years) in 2020, marking a century of educational excellence (Modern School Centenary).\n\n### Notable Alumni and Visitors\n\nModern School has produced a distinguished roster of alumni who have excelled in diverse fields, including politics, arts, science, and business. The school’s reputation has attracted visits from luminaries such as Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, further cementing its status as a cultural and intellectual hub (Modern School History).\n\n---\n\n## Significance of Modern School\n\n### Educational Philosophy\n\nModern School’s educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that true education extends beyond textbooks. The institution emphasizes holistic development, integrating academics with sports, arts, and co-curricular activities. Experiential learning is encouraged through innovative methods such as flipped classrooms and reflection sheets. The school’s guiding principle is to “turn mirrors into windows,” inspiring students to look beyond themselves and engage with the world (Modern School Academics).\n\nThe school is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and students regularly participate in the All India Secondary School Examination (AISSE) and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination (AISSCE). The curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and leadership.\n\n### Role in Indian Society\n\nModern School occupies a unique place in Indian society. As one of the first co-educational private schools in Delhi, it broke new ground in promoting gender equality and inclusivity. The school’s admission policy is non-discriminatory, welcoming students regardless of caste, creed, race, status, or gender (Edufever Modern School).\n\nOver the decades, Modern School has contributed significantly to the intellectual and cultural life of India. Its alumni include prominent politicians, artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs who have shaped the nation’s destiny.\n\n### Cultural and Social Impact\n\nModern School
