Apeejay Schools are intellectual and creative centres that enable learners to imbibe the three powerful virtues of a truly educated individual - Strength, Vision and Wisdom.
Since our first school came up over 49 years ago in 1975 in Kolkata, Apeejay Schools have won innumerable accolades for academic excellence and admiration for the strong bond of trust and faith shared between parents, teachers and students.
With an unrelenting focus on the emotional, spiritual, physical and mental growth of the child, we prepare a little over 3500 children, annually, to mature into socially responsible citizens.

Our Vision is to equip all our children with the invincible mantra of Shakti Drishti and Prajyan, the three powerful virtues of a truly educated individual.
Shakti is Strength. Strength is the engine that carves the path and promises to carry the young learners to their destination. Shakti is energy that is the cause of all the manifestations that make our world. According to Indian philosophy and modern science energy is the foundation of all creations perceptible and imperceptible. We want our children to possess and harness that energy. They should be genuinely connected with the source of Shakti and eventually dwell in Shakti to deliver their best in their respective fields.
Drishti is Vision. Vision is the capacity to see the visible and the invisible truth and vision is also an ability to imagine the future as you want it to be. Vision shows the present and proposes the future. It guides a learner to design the path through which Shakti would tread. Right Drishti will enable our children to be confident of what they are and put efforts to be what they could be.
Prajyan is Wisdom. Wisdom gives a child a self-expansive fulfilment, a deep insight into the truths of the world. Prajyan makes one realise the immortality of being. Our children learn to be fearless and strive to achieve immortality through their creations, work and ideas. Prajyan is the compass that shall never deport them to a wrong destination.
Our Mission is to strive to make our Schools vibrant spaces that enable learners to imbibe Shakti,Drishti and Prajyan educating our children not merely for living but for life.
Our Mission is to ensure that after completing school, our children must have moral integrity. They must respect their elders and love their nation. They must have an everlasting curiosity about the new and the unknown. They must take pride in their work. They should have team spirit and be enterprising. They must have a sense of aesthetics and beauty. They must believe in their abilities and must be innovative. They must know that they possess the tools to align with the shifts in the global economy, society, and environment. They should be creative in their approach. They should dare to cross boundaries and challenge old methods and they should critically engage with the needs of the society and the world and dedicate their efforts to solve problems for the greater good. They should be true achievers. They must be true Indians and good human beings endowed with the Strength, Vision and Wisdom they learn in Apeejay Schools. Blue, our school colour signifying strength and will power, should run through their veins lifelong.
