Welcome to the Kasiga School Community!

Nestled in the serene hills of Dehradun, Kasiga School enjoys an enviable location, breathtaking views, a state-of-the-art campus, and world-class academic and sporting facilities. Everything here is thoughtfully designed to help our young Kasigans thrive in an ever-evolving educational landscape.

Our beautiful 35-acre campus provides the perfect setting for ambition and inspiration to flourish. We believe that when students and staff are surrounded by an environment that celebrates possibility, they begin to believe in the infinite opportunities life has to offer.

At the heart of Kasiga is our belief in the power of co-educational boarding—a model that truly prepares young ladies and gentlemen to meet the challenges of life with resilience and respect. Living and learning together helps students become more empathetic, open-minded, and appreciative of diverse perspectives. That’s why we are deeply committed to nurturing them not just as learners, but as individuals with character, independence, and purpose.

We also believe that education should be the most joyful experience of a child’s life. Every student at Kasiga is encouraged to explore their passions, discover their strengths, and find their unique niche in a supportive and inspiring environment.

A true education goes beyond academic achievements. Whether one becomes a brilliant thinker, a pathbreaking scientist, a renowned artist, or a successful sportsperson, what matters most is how that education is used to uplift others. At Kasiga, we teach our students to look beyond themselves and develop a sense of responsibility toward the wider world.

From climate change to global conflict, from religious intolerance to resource scarcity—the world faces complex challenges. We believe that true knowledge liberates—from dogma, superstition, and blind faith. It should empower students to think independently, act compassionately, and contribute meaningfully.

Our dual curriculum—CBSE and CAIE (Cambridge)—ensures a strong academic foundation combined with critical thinking, creativity, and global awareness. These programs are designed to foster intellectual curiosity, academic discipline, and lifelong learning, while also preparing students for the best higher education opportunities in India and abroad.

Kasiga draws strength from tradition and timeless values, while remaining forward-looking and progressive in embracing innovation and technology. Our goal is to shape young people who are:

  • Confident yet humble
  • Compassionate yet courageous
  • Rooted in values yet open to the new
  • Unafraid to speak against injustice
  • Ready to make independent, thoughtful decisions
  • Eager to make a positive impact on their communities

    Educating and caring for other people’s children is both a rare privilege and a profound responsibility—one that we carry with deep respect and wholehearted commitment. But Kasiga is more than just a school—it’s a community, a way of life, and a second home for every child who walks through our gates. We’d love to welcome you to campus.
