ORCHIDS The International School (OIS) is a fast-growing network of K-12 CBSE schools headquartered in Mumbai, with 90+ branches across India’s major metros—Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai and others. Founded in 2002, the chain now serves more than 75,000 students guided by 7,000+ staff members, making it one of the country’s largest private school networks. Every campus is CBSE-affiliated (up to Grade 10) and prepares Grade 11-12 students for CBSE, IB or state boards depending on the region, while consistently recording board scores that exceed national averages.
OIS positions itself as a “360-degree learning ecosystem” that blends academics with future-ready skills. From Grade 1 onward students follow the proprietary ORCHIDS Career Foundation Program (OCFP), which integrates IIT-JEE/NEET and CUET preparation into regular timetables using analytics-driven benchmarking and micro-level remediation. STEAM is embedded through Robotics, AI & IoT labs, 3-D printing stations and in-house coding modules. Digital classrooms, tablet-based learning apps and a Learning Management System allow parents to track daily progress and attendance in real time.
Pedagogically, OIS adopts the SHARPER framework—an acronym for Self-discipline, Hard work, Applied-science, Research, Physical fitness, Exposure and Reflective thinking—manifested in learner-centric lesson plans, flipped classrooms and DIY science explorations. Kindergarten follows the Montessori-inspired ‘Little Orchids’ curriculum that emphasizes phonics, sensorial math and experiential learning through play. Every school library houses over 8,000 titles, and reading programs are gamified through AR quizzes.
Facilities are benchmarked to international standards: temperature-controlled smart classrooms, Olympiad-sized swimming pools, FIFA-spec football grounds, squash and basketball courts plus indoor shooting ranges in select campuses. Large auditoriums (600-1,000 seats) with Dolby surround host annual International Children’s Film Festivals and inter-branch MUNs. Safety measures include RFID ID cards, 100 % CCTV coverage that parents can monitor, lady-supervised transport and in-house medical rooms staffed 24×7.
Co-curricular breadth spans western & classical music, dance, drama and visual arts, culminating in the annual inter-branch festival OISPA (Orchids International Sports & Performing Arts). Community outreach is organized via Orchids Citizenship Programmes—tree-plantation drives, rural teaching stints and tie-ups with NGOs like Habitat for Humanity and PETA.
Admissions are rolling from Pre-Nursery upwards; fee structures are metro-dependent yet transparent, typically INR 1.3–2.2 lakh annually, payable in instalments with sibling discounts and merit-cum-need scholarships. Expert counselling cells assist with both domestic entrance exams and international university applications; recent alumni placements include IITs, NID, NIFT and premier global universities such as UCLA, University of Toronto and King’s College London.
