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.
