About Our Vibrant Community
When you walk through our Chanakyapuri gates, the first thing you will notice is the energy. Whether it is seniors bonding over ice cream or a fourth-grader sharing their love for our 1,800-year-old Banyan tree, our culture is not something we just teach, it is something our 70 plus nationalities live every day. This creates a secure, inclusive environment where your child does not just study, they find a second home.
Building a culture of belonging is not just a strategic goal for us; it is the foundation of daily life at AES. For over 73 years, we have brought together families from across the globe, creating a space where diversity is not just accepted, but actively celebrated.
Life in Our Community
Our community thrives because we prioritize connection outside the classroom. From the playful competition of our middle school fort system—Neela, Peela, Laal, and Hara—to our all-school activities mela, we ensure that students are constantly interacting, collaborating, and forming bonds that last far beyond graduation.
Why Families Choose AES
Parents often tell us that they choose AES because of the atmosphere. When you join our school, you become part of a partnership. We host regular workshops and parent-student events to ensure that the transition to an international school in Delhi is smooth and supported.
Our commitment to a holistic approach means we value emotional and social growth just as much as academic success. Whether it is through student-led service projects in the local community or our robust athletics and arts programs, we provide the platform for every student to find their voice, feel seen, and grow into the person they are meant to be.
