Top Schools in Haryana: 20 Schools Across Gurugram, Faridabad, Panchkula and Beyond

The Shri Ram School, Aravali

The Shri Ram School's Aravali campus stands in the Hamilton Court Complex in DLF Phase IV, Gurugram, and teaches Nursery to Class XII under the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE school code HA021), so pupils sit the ICSE in Class X and the ISC in Class XII; the campus also offers the NIOS board. The Aravali campus opened in 2000, and it remains a co-educational day school; the group's IB Diploma is taught at its separate Moulsari Avenue campus. It suits families who want the ICSE curriculum's language-rich, broad-based structure inside Gurugram rather than at the group's Delhi schools. Confirm the current admission notice on tsrs.org.

Heritage Xperiential Learning School

Heritage Xperiential Learning School's Sector 62 campus in Gurugram teaches Nursery to Class XII and is affiliated to CBSE through the senior secondary stage; the wider Heritage group also runs an IB and IGCSE international school in DLF Phase 5, so confirm which board a given class follows before applying. Founded in 2003, the school is known for its experiential, project-based classroom model rather than textbook-led teaching, and it runs as a co-educational day school. Families comparing it with conventional CBSE schools in the city usually visit the campus to judge the project work and assessment style in person.

Scottish High International School

Scottish High International School, in G Block, Sector 57 (Sushant Lok II), is one of the few Haryana schools where a child can stay on one campus across boards: it is a CISCE school (ISC code HA027) for ICSE and ISC, an authorised IB school for the PYP, MYP, Diploma and Career-related Programmes, and a Cambridge centre (IN448) for IGCSE. Established in 2005 on a five-acre campus, it is co-educational and day only, teaching Pre-Nursery to Class XII under the motto 'Building Personalities, Not Just People'. It fits families who want to keep international-board options open without changing schools.

Opened in 2003, it offers day, weekly-boarding and full-boarding places, so it draws pupils from across the NCR and beyond.
