On July 10, 1972, twelve pairs of tiny feet brought in the very first batch of students into the home of Flt. Lt. Vijay and Neena Williams. As they walked with tiny, apprehensive steps into the E-47 Anand Niketan address, their first day of formal education marked the birth of Mount Carmel School. The journey has taken the founders across the globe and the school into the lives of thousands of citizens.

Today, Mount Carmel is recognized as one of the premier educational institutions in the country, dedicated to the cause of making a positive difference in the lives of our future leaders, striving to uphold and enhance integrity, discipline, hard work and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

What makes a good school? Ask any admission-seeking parent today, and you will get answers ranging from name to fame to infrastructure and beyond. But really, what makes a good school? As you surf through the pages of our website, you will discover the ingredients that comprise the creation of a great school. You will recognize the importance of having a “vision”, the requirement of hard-grit faith, the ability to persevere and the knowledge of a divine mission, mixed with the day-to-day grind of living and working in India, which alone can be a challenge on the best of days! So, how was Mount Carmel built and what role did the founders, Dr. Vijay Williams and Dr. (Mrs.) Neena Williams play? Answers to all these questions and a deeper appreciation of the goodness of God towards us, hopefully, you will discover.

July 10, 1972 witnessed the birth of Mount Carmel School. The living room of the Williams family residence in E-94 welcomed the first group of twelve students. From these humble beginnings, the school grew into four rented houses and then into the two beautiful buildings that house nearly 2600 students. Recognized by the Directorate of Education, and affiliated to the CBSE, the school has been contributing educated citizens to the nation since the first small group in 1982.

The Junior School, located in the D block of Anand Niketan, houses students from Nursery to Class III and the Senior School, located in the A block, from Classes IV to Class XII.

At the Senior Secondary (All India) level we cater to all three streams, primarily Science (Biology & Computer), Commerce and Humanities. There is provision for teaching special subjects such as Entrepreneurship and Theatre studies. Plans for further expansion are in pipeline.

High on the priority list, in the four-fold development of the child, is the need for our students to learn how to give unto others. Towards this end, the school has a vibrant and active adult literacy program. Students from class XI undertake the responsibility of educating the underprivileged in the slums of the Shastri Market area in South Moti Bagh.

International student exchange programs with sister schools in Singapore and Wales allow our students to experience the lifestyles and cultures around the world, helping them prepare for their opportunities in our global village.

MOUNT CARMEL SCHOOL SOCIETY

The answer to the eternal quest in the search for meaning and purpose in life is in living a life devoted to loving others. Biblically, we know of God’s love for mankind in His sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Through that time-dividing act, we are all recipients of divine love. And for those who reciprocate and love God, He faithfully provides the purpose and meaning of life. The story of Mount Carmel is a tribute to the faithfulness of God. He established Mount Carmel, using two people who were committed to honoring Him… two people who did not look at the cost, the hardships, the pain, and the tears. He nurtured the growth using humble, dedicated men and women who form the Board of the Society and has touched the lives of thousands over the past five decades.

We are a Protestant, church-based society, registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, running Unaided Minority educational institutions in the Nation’s capital, New Delhi.

The first Mount Carmel School started in July 1972 with 12 students in a small residential house in Anand Niketan. Today the school has over 3000 students with a staff of 150 in 2 beautiful buildings.

The Dwarka Branch was started in April 1997, the Silver Jubilee year of the mother school, with 165 students. This too has over 3000 students and staff of 150. Both the schools are from Nursery to Class XII and recognized by the Delhi Administration and affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
