It teaches the Free Progress / Integral Education — no board curriculum curriculum across nursery–class viii, with accreditation or pathway listed as Recognised by the Directorate of Education, Delhi — an operating recognition, not a board affiliation.

⚠ What to consider

Two things deserve weight before you apply. First, the school stops at Class VIII and sits outside any board framework, so the transition out is entirely yours to plan — an academic case study of Mirambika found children needed active preparation to adjust to conventional teaching and assessment afterwards. Second, between 2015 and 2018 the school was at the centre of a serious governance dispute: its managing society moved children out of the original building over a land-lease issue, parents litigated, the Delhi High Court ordered status quo, and the Delhi government found that the Directorate of Education had filed a misrepresented affidavit, ordering its withdrawal and recommending a CBI inquiry. We could not establish how that was ultimately resolved. The school is clearly operating — the 2026-27 Nursery cycle ran and closed normally — but a family should ask directly. Capacity is tiny at about 20 Nursery seats a year, there is no school transport, and no rating on any platform could be verified at source.
