History
The school was established by a group of parents in 1972. In 1982 the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) received permission to operate a school to provide education for children of expatriates and Indians from the Ministry of foreign Affairs. It also became its major sponsor, funding the purpose-built school on the former site of the ICRISAT Staff Recreation Club in the Banjara Hills area of the city.
As the student body grew in size, the Principal and board began plans to build a new purpose-built school on the ICRISAT campus in Patancheru, a village on the outskirts of Hyderabad. A plot of land was assigned and construction began.
The Secondary School moved into a purpose-built building in 2007. Construction on a new canteen was completed in 2009.
In 2009, construction began on two new buildings: a building to house the Elementary School and a building to house Administration (such as Admissions, Finance, Purchasing, Administrators and School Nurse).
In 2010, a new building to house drivers was completed.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
