Springdales School is one of the oldest and most recognised names in Delhi education and features on our New Delhi city hub. It was founded in 1955 by Dr Rajni Kumar, a recipient of the Padma Shri, and her husband Yudister Kumar, and today runs across branches that include Pusa Road in central Delhi and Dhaula Kuan. The school is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education and adds a senior Cambridge examination route, teaching pupils from the nursery years through to Class 12.
This is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment for coverage, and the school is listed because it is a real choice families across the capital weigh, not because it paid to appear. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources at the time of writing and mark anything we could not confirm as not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Springdales teaches a broad CBSE programme from the early years to Class 12, and adds a senior Cambridge examination option for families who want an internationally recognised route. That gives senior pupils a measure of choice between an Indian board and a Cambridge pathway while keeping the school grounded in the national curriculum. Families weighing the boards can read our CBSE curriculum guide and our Cambridge guide to see how each is assessed and where it leads.
The school is known for pairing academics with a strong tradition in the arts, music, sport and community service, and its founding value of the world as one family runs through its international exchange work. That reputation for a rounded education, built over several decades, is a large part of why the Springdales name carries such recognition among Delhi parents.

Springdales School fees
Springdales School sits in the mid to upper band on our New Delhi international school fees guide, reflecting an established reputation rather than a premium international price tag. The school does not publish a single figure we can confirm, and numbers on third party aggregator sites vary, so treat any quote as indicative and confirm the current schedule directly with the admissions office. Fees can also differ between the branches.
Tuition is only part of the budget. A one time admission charge and periodic development or annual charges usually apply, and transport, meals, uniform and trips add to the yearly total. Families comparing the full cost across the city can use the New Delhi primary fees and secondary fees references alongside our compare tool.
Admissions
The school follows the Indian academic year and demand for places is high, particularly at the nursery entry point where published admission criteria apply. Applicants provide the standard documentation and a record of any prior schooling, with an age appropriate interaction for the youngest children and assessments further up the school.
Because senior places are limited, relocating families should apply early, confirm which branch serves the age group they need and ask the admissions team directly about availability and the current intake window.
Location and who goes there
The Pusa Road campus sits in a central, well connected part of Delhi near Karol Bagh, while the Dhaula Kuan branch serves the south west of the city. Between them the school draws families from a wide arc of the capital rather than a single neighbourhood.
The intake is largely made up of established Delhi families, with some internationally mobile households attracted by the senior Cambridge route. For the wider view of where families settle across the capital, see the New Delhi city hub.
Reviews
We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for Springdales School. GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays to be listed, so we publish reviews only once we can confirm they come from real families. If your child attends or has attended the school, we would value your first hand account of teaching, pastoral care and the admissions experience. Share it through the school reviews hub and help the next relocating family decide with better information. We do not display a star rating until verified reviews exist.
