While the former, known as the Core schools, have been set up by the Society in New Delhi and its neighbouring states, after having acquired the land and designing the construction, the Satellite or the associated schools are those which have been established across the country in collaboration with certain Public Sector Undertakings. Based on the premise that good education is the high road to both individual and national progress, the Society has proved to be a significant trendsetter. In the light of this success, the Society also received requests to set up similar schools abroad, and make them a part of the larger structure. This has led to the establishment of 23 schools in countries like - Kuwait, Sharjah, Indonesia, Nepal, Bahrain, Dubai, Afghanistan, Doha, USA, Dhaka, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Sri Lanka & Singapore.
