This Junior High School is directly situated at
the Chamba-Mussoorie Road on the crest of a hill
amidst greenery and natural beauty of a
Himalayan Valley. From here you see the
snow-capped Himalayan mountain-range, if you
look towards North. Rishikesh lies in the South
and Surkanda-Devi in the West.
The School is situated near the famous
Siddha-Peeth Surkanda-Devi, which is at a
distance of only 5 kilometres. Pilgrims from
distant places regularly visit the temple to get
blessings of the Divine Mother 'Surkanda-Devi'.
This area is surrounded by the beautiful fruit
belt, mountains and rich forests of rhododendron
trees. Years ago, the Government planted
thousands and thousands of fruit trees of
apples, pears, cherries and nuts to support the
agriculture of this area. During winter there is
snowfall in this region.
The School was founded in 1991 and is imparting
quality education in the area, which is evident
from the increasing strength of the students
every year. The Management and Teaching Staff
are very dedicated and committed for the
tremendous development of the child personality.
The children of this School are regularly
getting admissions in prestigious Govt. Colleges
for higher level education.
Not only this, the students of this School are
often receiving prizes in District and State
level competitions in curricular matters, but
also in sports and cultural matters.
