Best Schools in Narela, Delhi 2026-27

Narela is a planned DDA sub-city on Delhi's far northern edge, and its schools are mostly private CBSE schools in an affordable-to-mid fee band, spread across the residential DDA sectors and along Safiabad Road, alongside a few long-established names like DAV Centenary and Maharaja Agarsain.

Once a semi-rural town, Narela is now an emerging education and industrial hub, with new DDA housing and a Red Line metro extension on the way. For now it is served by its railway station and buses rather than a working metro.

Where Narela's schools are

Narela's schools cluster in the DDA residential sectors — the Sector A and Sector B pockets hold several of them — and along Safiabad Road, which runs through the older town. The large Narela-Bawana industrial belt sits to one side, so the schools are grouped in the residential and town areas rather than the factory zone. Established names anchor the town centre, while newer CBSE schools have opened across the DDA pockets.

Notable schools in Narela

Among the better-known schools are DAV Centenary Public School and Maharaja Agarsain Public School, both long-running CBSE schools taking children through to Class 12, along with Rajdhani Public School in Sector B-4, The Vivekanand School, National Public School on Safiabad Road and Khemo Devi Public School. Narela also has a Kendriya Vidyalaya and government senior secondary schools for families looking at the government route. Use the listings above to compare each on board, classes and fees.

Which boards Narela schools follow

CBSE is the main board among Narela's private schools, and the town also has a central-government Kendriya Vidyalaya and Delhi government schools. Options for ICSE or international boards are limited here; families wanting those typically look towards Rohini and the wider north-west Delhi belt.

What schools in Narela cost

Fees in Narela sit in the affordable-to-mid band, lower than the schools of central and south Delhi, in keeping with this outer-Delhi sub-city. The established CBSE schools charge a little more than the smaller neighbourhood ones, but the town remains a budget-friendly place to school a child. Budget for admission, annual and development charges alongside tuition, and check each listing for the current figure as fees revise each session.

Do Narela schools go up to Class 12?

Yes — several of the established schools, including DAV Centenary, Maharaja Agarsain and Rajdhani, run through to Class 12 with Science, Commerce and Arts streams at the senior stage. Smaller schools may stop at Class 8 or Class 10, after which students move to a senior secondary school nearby.

Getting to Narela schools

Narela does not yet have a working metro. It is served by the Narela railway station on the Delhi-Panipat line and by bus routes along Grand Trunk Road and the internal sector roads. A Red Line metro extension from Rithala through Narela to Kundli has been approved and is under construction, with several stations planned in the sub-city, but it is still a few years away. For now, most families reach the schools by bus, auto, cycle or car within the town.

How admission works in Narela

Entry-class forms usually open between November and January for the coming session. Private CBSE schools set their own criteria, while government and DoE-recognised schools follow the Delhi points system that favours distance from home and siblings already enrolled. Given the town's growing population, apply early and keep documents ready.
