Modern School, Barakhamba Road (informally Modern) is a co-educational, independent day and boarding school in New Delhi, India. It was founded in 1920 by Lala Raghubir Singh, a prominent Delhi-based philanthropist, in Daryaganj. He envisioned a school that would combine the "best of ancient Indian tradition with the needs of the times." The school's first principal, Mrs. Kamala Bose, a Bengali Christian, was a vigorous advocate of educational reform in India and her founding vision coupled with Lala Raghubir Singh's nationalist leanings gave birth to a school destined to be rated among the best in India: it was more Indian than the imitation public schools set up by the British for the sons of aristocracy, and more liberal than other educational institutions. The present principal is Dr. Vijay Datta, who took over the reins of the School in June 2014 and is the ninth principal of the school. The school fosters internationalism and is a founding member of the Community Development and Leadership Summit (CDLS). It also facilitates numerous international workshops and exchange programs. Modern houses roughly 2,400 pupils aged 12 to 18. Admission to the school is based on the number of vacancies in classes VI to IX and XI, as most students are admitted directly from Raghubir Singh Junior Modern School, Humayun Road, New Delhi. Modern School students take the Central Board of Secondary Education (C.B.S.E.) examination in classes tenth and twelfth. Modern has consistently been ranked as one of the best schools in India and among the top five day-cum-boarding schools nationwide by media such as The Times of India, The Hindustan Times, and India Today. Its sister school, Modern School, Vasant Vihar, also ranks among Delhi's best schools in a similar ranking by Outlook. It is the first private and coeducational school established in Delhi during the British Raj. Modern has three sister schools: Modern School, Vasant Vihar, and more recently, Modern School, Kundli and Modern School, Faridabad. Raghubir Singh Junior Modern School serves as the junior wing of Modern School, Barakhamba Road. Alumni of the school are commonly known as Modernites. Although, the total number of Modernites is relatively small, they include some of India's most prominent politicians, government officials, and business leaders.
