It is with great pride and joy that I welcome you to Podar International School, Khopoli - a place where learning is meaningful, values are celebrated, and every child is encouraged to flourish.

With over four decades of experience in the field of education, I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of learning. Over the years, I have come to believe that education is not just about academic achievement, but about nurturing well-rounded individuals who are confident, compassionate, and equipped to face the challenges of an evolving world.

At Podar International School, we are guided by the strong foundation and values of the Podar Education Network - a name synonymous with excellence in education for over 90 years. Integrity, respect, innovation, and empathy are not just words to us; they are lived every day in our classrooms, corridors, and community.

Aligned with the CBSE curriculum, our approach is rooted in holistic development. We strive to provide a stimulating learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically, express creatively, and collaborate effectively. We place equal importance on academics, life skills, physical development, and emotional well-being – because we believe that education must prepare children not just for exams, but for life.

As Principal, my vision is to lead with empathy and purpose - to create a school culture where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. I believe in working closely with parents, teachers, and students to ensure each learner’s journey is joyful and meaningful.

At Podar Khopoli, we are not just building scholars - we are shaping responsible, ethical, and empowered citizens of tomorrow.

I invite you to be a part of this journey with us.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Nita Kumar
Principal, Podar International School - Khopoli
