Where Krishna Nagar's schools are

They sit across a few distinct pockets. Blocks A to F and Lal Quarter hold the densest cluster of play schools and primary schools.

Jagat Puri, New Layal Pur and Mausam Vihar carry most of the larger CBSE schools, while Chander Nagar, Sukh Vihar and Anarkali Colony have walkable neighbourhood options.

The larger CBSE schools include RPM Lovely Public Senior Secondary School and SLS DAV Public School, both running from Nursery to Class 12. St. Andrews Scots School covers the early and middle years.

For the youngest children, Krishna Nagar has a dense preschool cluster with names like Bachpan, Sanfort, Petals and Pride Castle.

Which boards Krishna Nagar schools follow

Almost all are CBSE. A few smaller schools are recognised by the Delhi Directorate of Education without a separate board, and there is no real ICSE or IB presence inside the colony.

If you specifically want an international board, you will need to look towards South Delhi.

Do Krishna Nagar schools go up to Class 12?

Some do, some stop earlier. Several CBSE schools run the full range to Class 12 with Science and Commerce streams, while a number of well-run schools focus only on the early and middle years.

If you want one school from Nursery right through to Class 12, check the senior-class strength before you apply.

Getting to Krishna Nagar schools

Krishna Nagar is close to Gandhi Nagar, Geeta Colony and the Ring Road, with Metro a short ride away towards Welcome and Shahdara.

Most senior schools run their own buses across the surrounding East Delhi colonies, so transport is rarely a dealbreaker.

How admission works in Krishna Nagar

Nursery and Class 1 admissions run on the Delhi Directorate of Education's points-based system, and distance from home to school carries the most weight. Living inside Krishna Nagar is a real advantage at admission time.

Forms usually open between November and January, with first lists in the new year.
