Three schools from Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have been named winners of World’s Best School Prizes 2024. This is a record year for Indian schools, and two of these schools are set to receive USD 10,000 each.

The three schools are Ryan International School in Delhi’s Vasant Kunj, CM RISE School Vinoba in Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam and Kalvi International Public School in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai.

“For India to have not one but three schools triumph shows that the nation’s institutions truly stand among the best in the world. It is my hope that governments now look to your shining examples to see what can be achieved when schools are committed to high performance and when education seeks to tackle some of the greatest challenges our societies face,” said Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the World’s Best School Prizes.
