11. Aschool is the second home of a child that helps
nurture the mind and impart creativity and
progressive thoughts in them. To cope with the rat
race, in a dynamic and growing country like India, a
strategically planned educational institute is a must that
results in the holistic progress of the child.
Aiming for a secure future, parents put much effort and
research into finding the perfect school affiliated with a
wholesome board. Education is not limited to books; it
caters to the overall mental well-being of the students,
incorporating lessons in life skills.
Candor Group of Schools is one of the best institutes that
facilitates a secure and safe learning environment for
children. The school adopted an international syllabus and
curriculum to educate students for a better future and shine
in whatever they choose. Identifying this unique niche
requirement of the education space, Dr. Suresh Reddy
founded this educational excellence in August 2011,
successfully providing international learning standards to
Indian children.
Quality Education- The Primary Mission
Candor Group of Schools is the leading international school
in India and has dedicated itself to preparing students for
life. To achieve this objective, the school has gathered a
team of devoted and passionate students, transforming the
school into a community that promotes each child's
development into an informed, confident, caring, and
responsible global citizen.
It aspires to be a lighthouse for young minds. The institute
aspires to be a catalyst for positive change for both national
and international students, taking on the role of preparing
students to be global citizens. With this value-added
strategy, the institute aims to produce students who will
safeguard the environment while preserving ethical and
moral principles in an ever-changing social, economic,
environmental, and political framework.
Love of learning through lifelong inquiry, respect for
diversity of people, faith, culture, and ideas, concern for the
community at all levels, integrity of thought, speech, and
action, openness to adopting the best models, and
transparency of standards and practices are the core values
of this institute.
The school's prominent location allows for easy access to
famous residential districts and connects well with the city
while preserving a tranquil and acceptable environment for
student grooming and progress. The school has an
Administrative, Kindergarten, Primary, Middle, and
Secondary block that enables the school to communicate
effectively and maintain the smooth functioning of day-to-
day affairs.
Being an international campus, it is also Wi-Fi-enabled, and
its distinctive design makes the campus complete. For
students who want to study and live on campus, the school
offers boarding with first-rate facilities for boys and girls
over ten. Classrooms, a play and sports area, labs, libraries,
music studios, dorms, and a cafeteria are all part of the
beautiful Candor School campus. The school's
infrastructure is diligently curated and designed to be
student-friendly and age-appropriate.
Well-Strategized Curriculum

He is an environmental activist, acknowledged by Keisei
University in South Korea in 2017 for his efforts to
establish an environmentally friendly green school. The
same university awarded him an honorary degree in 21st
Century Building.
Establishment of an Academic Ecosystem
The enormous syllabus has made focusing on pupils' overall
growth harder. No syllabus in the world focuses solely on
theoretical knowledge. Even science has demonstrated that
while something is theoretically feasible, it may be
challenging.
On the other hand, Candor International School has created
an academic ecosystem based on a carefully curated
syllabus that allows students and teachers to strike the
optimum balance between theory and practice. The school
accomplished this by involving students in various
activities based on real-world difficulties and the practical
application of theoretical knowledge. CAS - Creativity,
Action, Service - is a program that began here. The
initiative encourages children to hone their creative abilities
and develop skills such as critical thinking.
The school has understood the importance of arts and other
activities that allow students to balance their academic
challenges. Today, with students' and teachers' collective
efforts, the school has become a center for Trinity Music, a
certification exam that offers a performance-only alternative
for various musicians. The school is also the official test
center for ACT exams, and over 15 exam slots with flexible
timings are arranged according to the convenience of
students.
It received offers from 250+ universities with over $10
million in scholarships, and in addition to that, the school
gets 100 per cent placement every year and continues to do
the same.
As part of the international curriculum, the school knows
the next critical step for pupils in selecting a college. As a
result, the school grooms and educates its pupils to
recognize their potential and the domains in which they can
excel. Graduating students work with the College and
Career Guidance Counsellor, who helps them find colleges
and institutions in India and abroad.
The school gives students an Avant browser and application
tool that helps them traverse their interests and displays
results for best-fit universities. This one-of-a-kind portal
assists them in college counseling by delivering transcripts
and other required documents to the numerous institutions
and colleges where students apply.
It is a worldwide known school, and 100 universities from
around the world come to aid students with their higher
education. Candor International University Fairs allows

research scholarships, improve the application process, and
so on.
A Homely Set-Up
Growth occurs outside comfort, and most children's comfort
zone is frequently their home. For students' general
development and extensive growth, the school offers
boarding facilities beginning in Grade 5, with a boarding
capacity of around 200 students. In addition, the school
allows students to select between conventional full-time
boarding and weekly boarding, where they can visit their
parents on weekends.
The school provides students with a home away from home,
reasonable hostel accommodations, a separate dining wing,
and specific rooms for entertainment. It was ranked No. 7
among India's Top 20 Day-cum-Boarding Schools in the
academic year 2019-20 by Education Today magazine.
The school understands the value of sports in students' lives
and organizes special training sessions for boarding
students. Along with a six-acre organic farm, the school
provides a variety of sports facilities for its students. The
sports facilities include a synthetic basketball court, tennis
courts, football fields, cricket pitches, a half-size Olympic
swimming pool, an archery arena, a skating arena, an
athletic track, and a gymnasium. Indoor activities such as
Throw Ball, Snooker, Air Hockey, Foosball, Carrom, Chess,
Table Tennis tables, and PlayStations are popular among
boarders.
Achievements and Recognitions
Candor Group of Schools has garnered numerous honors
for its international education, facilities, safety, and green
infrastructure leadership. In 2015, it was ranked 5th in
India's Top 10 International Schools 2015 and 1st in
Leadership Management Quality and Infrastructure
Provision. It won the Most Influential Brand in Education
Award in 2015-16, and the list continues.
The school's Additional Learning Attention Program
includes a Special Educational requirements program that
provides excellent attention to the requirements of talented
children. The school selects an exceptional educator who
thoroughly understands the student's specific learning
needs, and they go above and beyond to enhance their
learning experience. Candor Group of Schools has taken the

positive dimensions of this educational
evolution, we embark on a journey to
understand how environmental
education is instrumental in shaping
the ethos of the next generation.
Understanding Environmental
Education in CBSE Curriculum
The CBSE curriculum has evolved
over the years to encompass a holistic
approach towards education,
acknowledging the interconnectedness
of various subjects. Environmental
education, as a vital component of this
curriculum, goes beyond textbooks,
aiming to instill a sense of
responsibility and awareness regarding
their environment among students.
Education
Environmental
The Role of
in the
Curriculum
n an age where environmental
Iconsciousness is pivotal to our
collective future, the incorporation
of environmental education into the
CBSE curriculum stands as a beacon of
positive change. This paradigm shift
underscores the recognition of our
interconnectedness with the
environment, urging the cultivation of
eco-conscious citizens from a young
age.
The Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE) has embraced the
imperative of imparting not just
academic knowledge but also a
profound sense of environmental
responsibility. By exploring the
24. Fostering a Sense of Responsibility
One of the key benefits of integrating
environmental education is the
cultivation of a sense of responsibility
among students. By learning about
ecological systems, the impact of
human activities on the environment,
and sustainable practices, students are
better equipped to make informed
choices. This sense of responsibility
extends beyond the classroom,
encouraging environmentally
conscious behavior in everyday life.
Promoting Sustainable Practices
The inclusion of environmental
education in the CBSE curriculum
promotes sustainable practices from an
early age. Students learn about the
importance of resource conservation,
waste reduction, and the adoption of
eco-friendly alternatives. These lessons
not only contribute to the well-being of
the planet but also empower students to
become advocates for sustainable
living within their communities.
Connecting Classroom Learning to
Real-world Issues
Environmental education in the CBSE
curriculum bridges the gap between
theoretical knowledge and real-world
issues. Students engage with current
environmental challenges, such as
climate change, deforestation, and
pollution, fostering a deeper
understanding of the global impact of
human actions. This connection to real-
world issues encourages critical
thinking and problem-solving skills.
Nurturing Critical Thinking and
Problem-solving Skills
Critical thinking is a cornerstone of the
CBSE curriculum, and environmental
education complements this by
presenting students with complex, real-
life problems. By analyzing
environmental issues, students develop
the ability to think critically and devise
subjects. Environmental issues are
multifaceted, requiring a holistic
understanding that goes beyond the
confines of a single discipline. This
approach encourages collaboration
between science, social studies, and
other academic domains, providing
students with a comprehensive view of
the complex relationships within
ecosystems.
By intertwining various subjects with
environmental education, students
develop a broader perspective and
recognize the interconnectedness of
knowledge. This not only enriches
their educational experience but also
prepares them for a future where
addressing complex challenges
demands a synthesis of insights from
diverse fields.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the integration of
environmental education into the
CBSE curriculum emerges as a catalyst
for nurturing a sustainable and
ecologically aware future. This
educational initiative transcends
traditional boundaries, fostering a
sense of responsibility, promoting
sustainable practices, and instilling a
global perspective.
As we witness students actively
engaging with environmental issues,
developing critical thinking skills, and
embracing a connection with nature, it
becomes evident that this educational
approach goes beyond textbooks. It is a
transformative force, equipping young
minds with the tools to navigate and
positively impact the environmental
challenges of our time. Through
environmental education, we sow the
seeds of a harmonious coexistence
between humanity and the planet,
ensuring a legacy of stewardship for
generations to come.
solutions. These problem-solving skills
are transferable to various aspects of
life, contributing to the overall
development of well-rounded
individuals.
Encouraging Outdoor Learning and
Appreciation for Nature
Environmental education in the CBSE
curriculum is not confined to the
classroom; it extends to outdoor
learning experiences. Field trips, nature
walks, and practical experiments
provide students with firsthand
experiences of the natural world. This
exposure fosters a deep appreciation
for nature, instilling a sense of wonder
and curiosity that can last a lifetime.
Building Global Citizens
In a world that is increasingly
interconnected, the CBSE's emphasis
on environmental education
contributes to the development of
global citizens. By understanding the
interdependence of ecosystems and the
global impact of environmental issues,
students are better prepared to navigate
a world where environmental
stewardship is a shared responsibility.
Encouraging Civic Engagement
Environmental education goes beyond
individual actions; it encourages
students to participate in civic
engagement actively. Students are
motivated to be informed and
responsible citizens who advocate for
environmental policies, contribute to
community initiatives and engage in
environmentally conscious practices.
This civic engagement is crucial for
building a society that values and
prioritizes sustainability.
