The Centennial School, located in Sector 168 of Noida’s rapidly developing expressway corridor, is a co-educational day school that carries forward the 30-year legacy of the Delhi Public World Foundation. Set on a six–acre, Wi-Fi enabled campus landscaped to reduce urban heat-island effect, the school serves approximately 1,750 students from Nursery to Grade XII across the CBSE, Cambridge IGCSE and International AS/A Level pathways. The foundation’s commitment to “education for innovation with compassion” translates into a sharp pupil-teacher ratio of 1:15 and an emphasis on project–based learning that combines design thinking, entrepreneurship and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The pre-primary wing, designed by education architects VSBA, hosts discovery rooms with Reggio-inspired atelier spaces, while the senior wing centres around 42 bright, flexible classrooms fitted with interactive flat panels, writable glass walls and STEM corners. Signature laboratories include a Robotics-AI lab powered by the Atal Tinkering Mission, a composite science block with Langmuir trough, IoT hydrology set-up and a fully equipped language lab licensed by Linguaphone. Both libraries—the Junior’s blooming story-pod and the Senior’s three-level “knowledge commons”—stock 16,000 titles and provide 24×7 e-brary access through Academic Online and Britannica Digital.
Academic rigour is balanced with care: MAP adaptive testing in Grades III-VIII is paired with weekly SEL circles; Add-on programmes include coding with Code.org, Financial Literacy (in partnership with Finitiatives India), Kriti KC maths initiative and the bilingual Young Citizen Journalist series. Entrepreneurship is serious business here—Middle School pupils develop prototypes at Startup Saturdays; High Schoolers present business plans to a rotating panel of real angel investors, with seed grants funded by the school’s Annual Innovation Fund. Over 55 student clubs range from TED-Ed and Model WHO to Equestrian Society and Drone Racing.
Athletically, the school is a force: a 400 m synthetic athletic track, FIFA-approved AstroTurf football pitch, two FIBA indoor courts, an eight-lane swimming pool with timing gates and a 200-seat aquatic gallery, plus archery, squash and squash courts. Daily sports immersion from Grade I, structured by National-award-winning coaches and in-house physiotherapists, feeds an impressive record—18 nationals in 2023 alone. An optional residential wing offering 250 beds with dorm mentors is being readied for 2026; meanwhile, every student is connected via the award-winning CENTRAID app for real-time tracking of academic growth, health metrics and parent-community engagement.
Arts thrive on the top floor art wing, a 7-metre-high open studio with kiln, animation suite and black-box theatre linked by drones to the 750-seat proscenium auditorium. Annual events include Cinecharya, the international film festival; the AI for Earth Hackathon; and Kavyanjali, which brings together Sahitya Academy poets and Grade XII debaters. Tuition for 2024-25 ranges from ₹1.25 lakh (Nur) to ₹3.85 lakh (A-Levels), with full and partial scholarships for under-resourced meritorious candidates.
In short, The Centennial School fuses global programmes with Indian values, aiming not merely at academic excellence but at shaping empathetic, innovative leaders who will thrive in an interdependent century.
