About Us

We believe that children have a natural inclination to learn, and hence, the best way to educate them is by tapping the latent talent of children and tuning them to achieve meaningful ends. At Hiranandani Foundation School (HFS), we provide an environment that focuses on shaping children not only into global professionals but also good citizens. The inception of HFS International from HFS took place in early 2008. At HFS International academics is not the only focus, emphasis is also laid on a number of extracurricular activities. Through vocational subjects, greater interaction and non-academic exercises, students are encouraged to develop their hidden talents. Only to introduce them to a better way of life! At HFS International we provide unique learning styles and imbibe the need for international standards. The engaging and thoughtful learning environment of our small classes fosters the development of the child as an enthusiastic lifelong learner. Our school promotes high standards of education, discipline and citizenship in a supportive, international community. We adhere to our principles of educating a child as a complete individual.

Students are encouraged to participate in activities that broaden their interests; that help them discover their latent talents and develop a team spirit.

Our Principal

Here at HFS International we believe in fostering International Mindedness and help in bringing out the best in every student so that they walk out of this institution as caring young people with the sole aim of creating a peaceful world based on mutual respect and understanding.

There is a constant focus on learning, vertical planning. The IBDP structures to make the programme active learning, critical thinking and inquiry based learning reality. We must move from Learning (technical) to Thinking (adaptive and reflective in nature). Both skills are needed for a complete personality. At HFS International we believe in ‘QED’ which stands for ‘Qualitas, Excellent ia, Diligent ia’ to achieve the above mentioned goals.
