Lotus Valley International School, established under the aegis of the Lotus Valley Education Society, stands on a verdant 15-acre campus in Sector-126, Noida Expressway, Uttar Pradesh. Guided by the philosophy “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached,” the school blends progressive internationalism with rooted Indian values to nurture lifelong learners who are conscious global citizens. Accredited by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and candidacy for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), the school offers a seamless continuum from Montessori to Grade XII.
The Early Years (Montessori–KG) programme is anchored in Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and the Reggio Emilia approach. Spacious, sunlit studios open onto discovery gardens where children explore mud kitchens, sensorial paths, and butterfly zones. Daily Mandarin, music, yoga and storytelling create multilingual, embodied learning experiences.
Classes I–V follow an experiential CBSE curriculum enhanced by interdisciplinary units such as “Water Matters” and “Designing Playgrounds,” co-created with Katha, IIT-Delhi Design Lab and France’s L’école de design Nantes Atlantique. A 1:12 teacher-student ratio allows individual goal-setting; digital portfolios capture evidence of growth for triangulated parent, peer and teacher reflection.
Middle School (VI–VIII) introduces choice-based electives—robotics, Kathak, financial literacy, or community radio—in 60-minute “Power Labs.” All students complete a graded social-impact micro-project; past cohorts built an FM station for adjoining village farmers and ran cyber-safety drives with Noida Police.
Senior School (IX–XII) offers Science, Commerce and Humanities with NEET-JEE, NDA and CUET preparation modules that coexist with internships at Indian Statistical Institute, NDTV and Oberoi Hotels. Grade XI learners opt for an International Curriculum Path (IGCSE/IB DP) housed in the Centre for Advanced Studies, with access to research incubators, a 3-D printing farm and optics lab.
The faculty, drawn from top universities including Delhi University, TISS and Rhode Island School of Design, undergo 120 hours of annual professional development co-facilitated by Harvard’s Project Zero and Singapore’s National Institute of Education.
Academics are balanced with robust co-curriculars. The FIDE-rated Chess Academy, National-level Shooting Range, and NBA-sized Hardwood Court host 15 sports specialisations. Performing Arts thrive in a 700-seater Bharatanatyam-sprung auditorium with Meyer sound and a Black-box theatre modelled on London’s Young Vic. Each student joins one social club—Model UN, Astronomy, MUN Comics Collective, or Heritage Revival—and one impact club for UN-SDG micro-actions.
Pastoral care is scaled through a vertical House system, each mentored by a clinical psychologist and trained peer counsellors. Mindfulness, consent education and digital wellness are timetabled; meals designed by AIIMS Nutrition Centre are served in allergen-coded zones.
Graduates claim seats at Oxford, NUS, MIT and Ashoka, winning Young Researcher fellowships at IISc and Watson Institute. Yet the school measures ultimate success by alumni returning to lead rural maker labs and sustainability start-ups, exemplifying its core promise: rooted minds for global good.
