Bhoomi Pujan Ceremony at the Shiv Nadar School, Chennai
The last decade at Shiv Nadar School has been focused on advancing, challenging, defining, and redefining benchmarks in education with our three campuses across Delhi NCR. Extending our legacy of raising “Lifelong Learners,” we are now at the helm of launching our fourth school in Chennai.
Our newest chapter in Chennai began on an auspicious note with the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony on 27th July 2022.
The solemn occasion was graced by members of the Shiv Nadar School community, Mr. Shikhar Malhotra and Ms. Roshni Nadar Malhotra. Teams from SNU Chennai, SSN College of Engineering, and the Foundation came together to welcome the newest addition to the Chennai family.
The school campus in Chennai is nestled in the lush greenery of Adyar. Designed by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. B. V. Doshi, the campus focuses on leveraging the richness of the existing green environment of Adyar to enrich learning outcomes. In keeping with his philosophy, the school will be a blend of aesthetic sensibilities with a critical focus on sustainability.
We look forward to creating an enriching environment to foster young minds and guide them into becoming lifelong learners and ethically and morally responsible citizens.

14 सितंबर 2022, बुधवार जो हमारी राजभाषा हिंदी को सम्मान देने का दिन है। हम सभी ने मिलकर हिंदी से जुड़ी बहुत सी गतिविधियां की।
शुरुआत हुई पुस्तक मेले से...
एकलव्य और इकतारा प्रकाशन ने विद्यालय में हिंदी की ख़ूबसूरत और मज़ेदार किताबों से चार चांद लगा दिए। विद्यालय में बच्चों के लिए funशाला के तहत् विभिन्न प्रतियोगिताएं भी रखी गईं जिसमें बच्चों को बेहद मज़ा आया।
वहीं श्याम सुशील जी , जो हिंदी बाल साहित्य के क्षेत्र में जाने माने लेखक हैं के साथ हुई बच्चों और शिक्षक - शिक्षिकाओं की वार्ता और हिंदी पुस्तकालय के उदघाटन ने बच्चों के लिए साहित्य लिखने का नया दरवाज़ा खोल दिया। अंत में कक्षा 7 की हिंदी दिवस की प्रार्थना सभा से हिंदी दिवस का यह महत्त्वपूर्ण दिन अगले साल फिर से आने के इंतज़ार में समाप्त हुआ.
Synergy – Parent Collective
Shiv Nadar School represents the idea of learning by fostering a culture of creativity. The Parent Partnership Office takes this philosophy forward by engaging with the parents; creating an involved and evolved community of like-minded people.
Synergy - Parent Collective was conceived based on this philosophy; a space of sharing and collaborations for parents. This collective has different baskets in the offering - Creative Pursuits, Sports & Culture, Wellbeing and Community Partnership. These clubs are for the parents, by the parents and are led by parents. The school facilitates and supports them in all their pursuits.
Creative Pursuits gives parents a platform to express their creativity and curate art exhibitions, theatrical performances and annual production.
Sports & Culture is a space for the parent community to bond on the field and the library. The sports enthusiasts organize tournaments, marathons and free plays in any sport.
The book lovers keep the Bibliognosts sessions alive with book suggestions, live reading sessions and author visits.
Wellbeing Programs bring them together as a whole; presenting an environment for the community to flourish and be happy physically, mentally & spiritually wellbeing. Regular mindfulness sessions, Ted Talks and webinars are organized for the entire school by the parents.
Community Partnership is a strong parent and school community that has shown its solidarity in all times. This strong bond and support system has been a testament to the founding principles of Shiv Nadar School. Parents collaborate and work towards a cause that is proposed by them as a collective. These causes are aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals. Some of the initiatives that the parents have taken are: Fundraiser Campaign for the Covid affected families, Plant a Sapling, Coffee for Cause and Disposal of e-waste.
Sanskriti Model United Nations
The10th edition of SMUN took the future leaders to various corners of the globe, across various time periods, exploring a multitude of problems and emphasising and refining their crisis management abilities. In a world which is ever engulfed in crises like wars, climate change, refugee influxes, pandemics and economic recessions, delegates were offered an opportunity to traverse through a wide range of committees, from the Council of the Russian Empire to serving as journalists in the UNCA, acting as members of the European Union to the police at Interpol. The delegates and IP members could explore their talents and interests in whichever aspect they wished to through SMUN while at the same time discovering the deeper reservoirs of knowledge within themselves on understanding problems of the modern world through accurate simulations.

The Excellence Awards 2021-22
In Aristotle’s famous words, Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. At SNS, students receive accolades and acknowledgment for their efforts and the values that truly define them. The celebration of our students’ achievements was organised in the school campus, where the young stars walked the red carpet and were acclaimed for their skills, academic triumphs and core values that sets them apart as the legacy of the Shiv Nadar School philosophy and ethos.
