Where Model Town's schools are

The bulk of genuine Model Town schools sit in the residential core across Model Town I, II and III, with a few more on the institutional edge towards Azadpur.

The GTB Nagar side forms the southern boundary towards Delhi University. Note that adjoining Mukherjee Nagar is a UPSC coaching hub for adults, not a school cluster, so its coaching centres are not schools.

Notable schools in Model Town

The long-running CBSE schools include Rosary Senior Secondary School, founded in 1958, and Guru Tegh Bahadur Public School, founded in 1974, alongside Arvind Gupta DAV Centenary Public School near Naini Lake. Queen Mary's School (Northend) in Model Town III is a CBSE girls' school, while The Srijan School and GD Goenka Public School are newer co-educational options.

Most run the full range from Nursery to Class 12.

Which boards Model Town schools follow

Model Town is effectively a CBSE market, and every established school here is CBSE-affiliated.

There is no confirmed ICSE or international school inside Model Town, so families wanting those boards look towards South Delhi or Gurugram.

Do Model Town schools go up to Class 12?

Yes. The main schools, including Guru Tegh Bahadur Public, Arvind Gupta DAV, Queen Mary's, The Srijan School and GD Goenka, run from Nursery through to Class 12, so a child can complete senior secondary within the area.

A few smaller schools focus on the early and middle years, so check the grade range before applying.
