The school began its journey with around 200 students and 16 teachers in July 1990. It is a self-financing inclusive day school spread over eight acres of land in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, India.

	~~==Prefect system==~~
	~~Like most schools following the UK system, Vasant Valley School has a Prefect System. Prefects are chosen by the teachers in Class 5, which~~ is ~~the final year of Junior School, and Class 12, which is the final year of school as~~ a ~~whole. In the Junior School, the most basic prefects are chosen, i.e. Head Boy, Head Girl, Sports Captain, Vice~~-~~Sports Captain, and the Captains of the houses (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow).~~

	In the Senior School there are more than 20 prefect posts. These include Head Boy, Head Girl, Sports Captain, Vice-Sports Captain, the four House Captains as well as four House Prefects (considered Vice-Captains). Additionally, there is the editor of the school ~~newsletter and the heads~~ of ~~the various councils (Arts Council~~, ~~Students Council~~, ~~Essentials Council, Academic Council, Library Council, Outreach Council etc.) who also hold powers of prefects~~.

	==~~Special days and trophies~~==		==Vision==
	~~The school's Founder's Day is celebrated on 18 November~~. ~~The students celebrate it by showcasing dances or performances~~ for ~~the parents~~, ~~after which the Excellence Awards are given~~, ~~which~~ are ~~proficiency awards for students who have excelled in student life~~.		“Excellence in Deed”, the school’s motto, sets the standard for Vasant Valley School. Individualized attention for each student, a "process-focused" learning framework, equity of all stakeholders and commitment to society are the pillars of the School’s philosophy. We believe that education is an enjoyable and interactive process.

	The school ~~holds an Inter-House Athletic Meet, where~~ the ~~four houses [i~~.e. ~~Blue, Red, Green, Yellow] compete in athletics including sprinting, long-distance running, jumping, and throwing, for~~ which ~~they receive medals~~ for ~~merit~~. ~~There~~ is ~~a Moksh Dang Memorial Award for Athlete~~ of ~~the Year~~ for the ~~student who achieves most points for their house~~.		==A Day in School==
			The school day comprises academic and nonacademic Learning Experiences and is planned with special focus on the developmental needs of our students. The entire Campus is a “Classroom” and learning is continuous. Every year group is divided into three sections with about 30 students each. The classrooms are built around an alcove which is the hub of social interaction for the children. School timings are from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm and the day is divided into four blocks with three breaks in between. The duration of lessons varies from 20 to 60 minutes for different year groups. There are no bells ringing in school to indicate the beginning or end of a lesson.

	The ~~Akshay Chibber Memorial Award for All~~-~~Rounder~~ of the ~~Year is given to one or two students~~ of ~~class 12~~, ~~who have displayed excellence~~ in the ~~field~~ of ~~academics as well as in~~ sports. The ~~Subject Awards are given to students from Classes IX to XII who have excelled in~~ an ~~academic or co-curricular subject~~, ~~such as~~ Visual or Performing Arts ~~and PE. The Grade Card Distinction Award is for those students who receive an 85% overall throughout the year~~.		==Infrastructure==
			The School is divided into two wings, with an open amphitheatre connecting them. This eight acre campus has a built-up area of four acres, while the rest of the space comprises a lush, green cover. The red and beige sandstone building was designed and built keeping in mind the ideal environment for children, the philosophy of the school and evolving paradigms. The campus has sports fields, gardens, play areas and courtyards, with over 400 species of trees and plants. The School has well equipped Science laboratories, two libraries, a state-of-the-art Occupational Therapy facility an auditorium and gymnasium, extensive sports facilities and a specialized centre for the Visual and Performing Arts.

	==~~Co-curriculars~~==		==The Learning Experience==
	~~The~~ school ~~encourages co~~-~~curricular activities~~ such as ~~debating~~.		While high academic achievement is a priority, the school aims to create a community of well-rounded individuals, who are compassionate and confident. This fosters a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect among the students and teachers. The learning experience is focused on nurturing qualities such as leadership and self-discipline aiming towards the holistic development of each child. The curriculum goes beyond the prescribed CBSE syllabus, where the process is as important as the outcome. Various programmes that nurture the cerebral, social, emotional, physical, spiritual and creative development of every child are in place. Each academic year is divided into four Learning Cycles.

	==~~Newsletter~~==		==Programmes==
	The school~~'s bi~~-~~monthly newsletter~~, ~~''Vasant Valley Today''~~, ~~includes stories written by students and coverage of the events of the fortnight~~.		The school has various Inter-school and Intra-school programmes that instil a spirit of healthy competition, whether in academics, arts or sports.
