About SCPS
Shri Chandrabadani Public School campus
33+ years in the hills
Our story

A school built where the children already were

Affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi — Affiliation No. 3530502

Established in 1993, Shri Chandrabadani Public School began because families in and around Pujar Gaon, Hindolakhal, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand were sending their children hours down the valley for a decent education — or not sending them at all.

Three decades on, the school teaches nursery to class xii across a twelve-acre campus, and is affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi. What has not changed is the size of the classes: small enough that a child who is struggling is spotted in the first week of term, not at the exam.

What we stand for

Mission, vision and values

Our Mission

To give every child in these hills an education that would hold up anywhere in the country — without asking them to leave the hills to get it.

Our Vision

A school where children are taught to ask before they answer, and where a quiet child is noticed as readily as a loud one.

Our Values

Honesty before marks, effort before talent, and respect for the people who keep the campus running as much as for those who teach in it.
