“The school may be 50 years old today, but it remains youthful, as each passing batch brings in a new generation of young learners,” the VP said.

Addressing the gathering, Modern School principal Vibha Khosla said the new block will extend the institution’s ethos and academic excellence to a larger number of students.

“The facility will allow many more students to benefit from the institution’s distinctive ethos and academic excellence, while reinforcing the school’s long-standing commitment to holistic and value-based education,” Khosla said.
