About Us

As a private school, the citadel had a modest beginning in 2013 with a single outfit breeding 12 pioneer pupils for the present major establishment. But in 2016, the citadel started to accept students and pupils transferring from other schools.

Over the years the citadel has morphed into a conglomerate of creche, nursery, primary and secondary section.

The boarding houses or hostels admit not only students for the secondary section of the school but also pupils for the primary section.
