In 1963, the Brothers of St Patrick opened the school in Delhi at the invitation of the Army. It started with four Brothers, six teachers and 85 students. The first Principal was Bro. E.T Dunne who was in charge of the school till January 1969. The foundation stone was laid on 6 January 1963, by Lt Gen Bhagwati Singh, who was at that time G.O.C of Delhi Area, New Delhi.
The school was first housed in eight tents (with seven classes)- there were only two students in the seventh standard. The building work started immediately, and the entire school moved into the building in July 1963. Two floors were completed in December 1963. This building was however not complete as the number of students were increasing and a Science Block was required. The staff and students organised fetes in 1966 and 1968, which brought in enough money to help complete the building.[1]
In addition to two computer labs, two libraries, and three science labs, the school also has sports fields and courts - onesynthetic tennis courts, one soccer fields, a cricket ground, volleyball court, one outdoor badminton courts and onesynthetic basketball court. In addition to these, there is a science park, skating rink, swimming pool and centrally air-conditioned auditorium with a capacity of nearly one thousand people.
