What Do you Know About the Top Schools in Pune?
Pune, also known as the center of Japanese learning in India, houses some of the best universities in the country. The schools and colleges here have affiliations to almost all the prime boards of the country. These would include The Maharashtra board, ICSE, CBSE, and the Higher Secondary Education Board of India. The University of Pune opened its gate to students in 1948 and till date is a force to reckon with. A quiet place to reside in, Pune offers some of the finest education and living standards. It’s a student favorite!
Pune is a city that has been under development for quite some time now and continues to grow leaps and bounds at an extraordinarily rapid rate. Given good weather conditions, ample space, and the availability of almost everything under the sun, the city has now become a hub for many people to start a family; and of course, give their child the best education possible.
When we think ‘city life’, one very important question that makes itself evident to those who have families, is the schooling system. Especially for those with children between the age, 6-14 (Class 1- 8) who belong in primary school. In constant search of the best primary school, parents scour the internet and traverse around the city for hours and hours. There are many schools with many options in terms of the board of education they offer. Parents have to decide what would be the best fit for their child, giving him the highest possible pedestal available — the school that will propel them into a good future.
With the way the world is progressing, it is evident that the things being taught revolve around living a healthy good life, giving back to the planet and of course, developing not just in academics, but as an all-rounder. Pune as a city embodies these good values. The City is deemed to be India's first ‘Smart City’ and has almost everything running on an online platform. The city believes in keeping nature intact. Trees are always being planted and initiatives to make people more aware of the advantages of living a peaceful, organized life are always being worked on. Traits like these will then be passed on to our future generation.
This is one of the main reasons people should send their children to Pune to study. From CBSE all the way to IGCSE, Pune gives you plenty of options. Their schools believe in sharpening their students' physical and mental wits, molding them into young citizens with a conscience in regard to the world around them. Students are taught spirituality and how to keep fit and healthy throughout their lives. All-in-all I would say the city allows for an all-inclusive growth of one’s child, making it one of the most sought-after cities in India in terms of primary Education. Out of the top schools in Pune, here is a list of a few that I think to stand out at the forefront of education in today's time.

Mary’s School Pune stands as one of the leading pioneers in the education movement in India. Brought to life in the year 1866, St. Mary’s stands as one of the oldest and most prestigious institutes in our country. With core values set in stone and a high level of academic achievement, St.Mary’s School believes in offering equal opportunities to everyone. Their main goal is to see the overall development of the student.
