The student's strength is approximately 650; the teaching faculty has 87 members and teaching sections never exceed 22 students (typically 12 to 15 in the final two years). The student/staff ratio of less than 8/1 is amongst the best in the world.

The medium of instruction is English, with Hindi as the second compulsory language till class 10. The School is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi and prepares children for the All India Senior Secondary School Examination (12th grade Examination), following the 10+2 pattern of education.

A regular assessment is made of every child's performance. Very bright children are encouraged with awards of Distinction and Commendation in their Unit Tests while weak students are placed on a House/Headmaster's List and helped with remedial work. There are Half Year and End of Year examinations. The results of all assessments, end of term statement of marks and comments by the subject teachers are sent to parents. Pupils are expected to thrive academically. Where this is not the case, the House Staff, or indeed the Headmaster, may request parents to visit School so that any difficulties may be explored and, hopefully, solved.

A new post holder, Head of Curriculum Development, has been appointed from July 2000, and will be focussing on the development of teaching styles and other methods to further raise the academic prowess of the school.

Teacher Appraisal monitors the performance of teachers, and teachers are encouraged to attend workshops to rejuvenate their imaginations.
