Samsara The World Academy, founded in 2005 and promoted by the Samsara Educational Welfare & Social Society (Regd. Amritsar), is a KB-12, English-medium, co-educational day school that has rapidly grown into one of Gautam Budh Nagar’s most sought-after institutions. Located in the Sector-CHI IV expanse of Greater Noida, it sits amid twenty-five acres of landscaped, Wi-Fi-enabled campus whose manicured gardens, fountains and footpaths provide a literal “walking laboratory” for lessons in environmental science and city planning. The society’s vision, “Awaken to Excellence”, governs every brick: the sole gate still staffed by its first guard, a testament to continuity, and the main atrium whose handcrafted marble wall now carries the thumb-prints of every batch since inception.
Academically the Academy follows the NEP-aligned CBSE curriculum but layers it with three signature upgradations: whole-school conceptual mapping so that a Grade III science topic on water reappears in Grade IX economics as “virtual water trade”; an internal Inter-Disciplinary Credit (IDC) system that requires senior students to audit humanities or tech courses outside their stream; and a compulsory Research & Outreach Module (ROM) from Grade IX onwards whose field-immersion projects have produced award-winning papers on traffic analytics and peri-urban farming. The faculty strength is 180, diverse and experienced, led by a principal who is both a Fulbright scholar and a former engineer. The school holds twin International Dimensions in Schools (IDS) certificates from the British Council for sustained global partnerships with Zeinelabidin School (Zanzibar) and an annual e-STEAM design challenge with Worcester Academy (USA).
Co-curricular rigour is woven into the timetable rather than offered after hours. On Mondays every class follows a 45-minute “Skill Carousel” that rotates among robotics, Kathak dance, culinary math, theatre lighting and farm robotics setting up a seed-to-table kitchen adjoining the Aravinda block. Ninety per cent children learn an instrument; Samsara’s Himalayan Pipe Band is the youngest ensemble ever to perform at the Delhi Republic Day parade two years in succession. With 35 acres out of 45 earmarked for sports, infrastructure is generously scaled: an eight-lane 400 m synthetic track, a FIFA-approved football turf imported from Argentina, a half-Olympic pool with an underwater sound system for synchronized swimming, and a double-height indoor arena with sprung maple flooring for badminton, basketball and gymnastics. The Sports Science & Nutrition Centre partners with Fortis Hospital to provide tailored strength and rehab programmes; three alums already play in the Indian U-17 women’s football circuit.
Pastoral care is managed through the House system—Aakash, Jal, Prithvi, Agni and Nabh—each anchored by a resident auntie or uncle who shares evening snacks, bedtime stories and morning yoga. The SEN wing “Aarambh” has 22 children mainstreamed through buddy readers and peer-mediators; it runs Uttar Pradesh’s first school-based Dyslexia Early Screening Test (DEST) for feeder KG schools. Samsara has won the “Green Campus Award” five years running, generates 70 % of its power from rooftop panels and uses treated sewage water for horticulture. Annual fees for day scholars range from ₹1.1 lakh (KG) to ₹2.7 lakh (Grade XII), which includes meals, day-care, books and three yearly outbound camps that cycle through the Thar Desert, Jim Corbett National Park and Rishikesh’s Himalayan eco-village.
