Three distinguished schools. One founding vision. United by the spirit of Thrive. For Life.
Owned and Operated by the GD Goenka Founders
From Vasant Kunj in New Delhi to Sohna Road in Gurugram, each school has its own programme, its own identity and its own way of bringing out the best in every child.
United by one uncompromising standard of care, ambition and academic quality. More than three decades ago, the GD Goenka journey began with a single school in Vasant Kunj; today the group is a nationwide network of over 160 K–12 schools, and these three remain the schools owned and operated by the founding family.

A CBSE school built on the NEP 2020 belief that learning should fit the child. Flexible, customised pathways let every student aspire higher, grow stronger and move ahead with clarity and purpose.
A true international education in one school, with the IB PYP, Cambridge Lower Secondary, IGCSE and IB Diploma, and full-time, weekly or day boarding to suit every family. Ranked #1 in Delhi NCR and #6 in India by EducationWorld in the International Day cum Boarding category.
Shri Anjani Kumar Goenka is a visionary educationist and philanthropist
Whose pioneering spirit has transformed the landscape of Indian education. As the Founder and Chairman of the GD Goenka Group, he has been instrumental in establishing a legacy of excellence that spans across schools, higher education, and vocational training.
With an unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering holistic development, Mr. Goenka has consistently championed innovation, global standards, and value-based learning.
“When I look back at the journey that began in 1994, I recall a simple yet powerful vision – one rooted not just in academics, but in the wellbeing, dignity and safety of every child who walked through our school gates.
GD Goenka was founded to raise the bar for school education in India. And from the very beginning, we chose to lead, not follow.
We were the first to introduce GPS-enabled, air-conditioned school buses – the iconic yellow buses that set a new benchmark in safety and comfort. We ensured children drank only mineral water, long before it became common practice. We brought in clinical psychiatrists to support emotional well-being, at a time when few were even speaking of mental health in schools. Every decision, every detail was guided by one belief: that our children deserve the best start in life, in every sense of the word.
Today, as I see GD Goenka grow across the country and beyond, I feel immense pride – but even more, a deep sense of responsibility. We must continue to evolve with the times while staying true to the values we began with. In an age of AI, rapid change and global challenges, our duty is to equip our students with not just knowledge, but resilience, empathy, and a sense of purpose.
Every child deserves an education that honours their individuality and prepares them to face the world with courage and confidence. At GD Goenka, we remain committed to that promise – every day, for every learner, in every classroom.”
Mrs. Renu Goenka · Vice Chairperson, GD Goenka Group
Thirty years ago, when these corridors were first filled with the sound of young footsteps and the quiet hum of promise, I don’t think any of us imagined just how deeply this place would come to mean to so many.
A school isn’t made of brick and concrete. It’s made of mornings where a teacher notices a child’s silence. Of friendships that begin at assembly. Of lessons that are never written in the syllabus, but stay for life. It’s made of care – the quiet, everyday kind. And that, I believe, has been GD Goenka’s greatest strength.
We were never just about marks or medals. We were about moments. About giving children space where they felt safe enough to ask, to try, to fail, and try again. A space where they weren’t expected to be perfect – only to be themselves.
Even today, when I walk through these familiar halls, I see children who aren’t just learning – but blooming. I see teachers who carry not just experience, but patience. I see a community built not only on rules, but more importantly, on respect. And I know – this is what it means to truly thrive.
Not in the loud, hurried sense of the word. But in the quiet confidence that comes from being rooted. From knowing you are supported. From knowing that the adults around you believe in who you are becoming.
As we complete three decades, I don’t think of it as an achievement – I think of it as a relationship. One built slowly, carefully, lovingly – with every student, every parent, every teacher who placed their trust in us.
At GD Goenka you’ll find a place that listens, nurtures, and stands by your child every step of the way. We look forward to welcoming you to our family.
Regards, Mrs. Renu Goenka Vice Chairperson
