What Innovative International School, Chakan does

Innovative International School, Chakan is a privately operated CBSE-affiliated English-medium K-10 school located in Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra, serving approximately 1,400 learners across Foundational (Nursery–KG2), Primary (Grade I–V), Middle (Grade VI–VIII), and Secondary (Grade IX–X) programs. The school is run by NavSahyadri Charitable Trust (NSCT), Pune, a registered public charitable trust that also operates engineering, MBA, law, teacher education, and degree colleges in the region. The curriculum is aligned with India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and follows the three-language formula (English, Hindi, Marathi). Teaching is delivered by 56 staff across PGT, TGT, PRT, and NTT categories at a 15:1 student-to-teacher ratio, with three full-time counselors supporting student wellbeing.

The school's core technology and product surface centers on a 2,400 sq ft AI & Innovation Lab opened in May 2026, built on the Atal Tinkering Lab model and equipped with robotics kits (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Lego SPIKE, micro:bit), generative AI tooling paired with an ethics seminar, 3D printing, vinyl cutting, and embedded-systems workstations; weekly studio hours serve Grade 6+ students with mentor support from the Pune MIDC small-industry network. Supporting infrastructure includes 62 smart classrooms capped at 40 learners, a 2,000+ volume library with digital catalogue, GPS-tracked bus transport across Pune North, and four separate playgrounds. Academic outcomes have strengthened materially — CBSE Class X pass rate moved from 92% (2023) to 95% (2024) to 100% in 2024-25, with a top score of 99.2% and 17 students qualifying state-level scholarship examinations in 2025-26.

The business model is a recurring annual tuition subscription billed term-wise, with fee structure updated each academic year and disclosed only via prospectus download. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families apply online or on campus, attend a Saturday appointment tour, and complete a child interaction and parent conversation with the principal and senior teacher for a 10-day decision turnaround. Acquisition relies primarily on word-of-mouth from three generations of Pune families educated at the school, supported by website content and organic social media. The school operates from a single campus and serves a single geography (Pune District), with no multi-branch or multi-city footprint and no external investors.
