Controversy
The School has recently been in news for making a U-turn on its decision to be a co-education School. The School was opened for boys in 2012 and in 2015 it backtracked on its decision and decided to become a Girls School again. The decision attracted a lot of criticism from the parents of the boys already studying in the school. Parents protested in front of the School for its decision and demanded a rollback on 7 August 2015. The School was temporarily closed due to the agitation of parents on 8 August 2015.
The school took the decision to continue as co-ed in future. Admission notice for 2016-2017 was given accordingly.
