Category: Most Effective Blended Learning Model, North India School Merit Awards 2026About the school
Located in the very heart of New Delhi — an ultra-modern campus built for new-generation learners, and a motto that has not changed since the beginning.
Introduction
A school that represents the transformation of education globally.
The school is located in the very heart of New Delhi, Safdarjung Enclave. A vibrant, tech-savvy school with an ultra-modern campus, it caters to the needs of new-generation learners. Beautifully designed classrooms, state-of-the-art infrastructure and a child-friendly atmosphere provide a safe and stimulating environment to young learners.
Driven by the latest research, the school uses an innovative teaching methodology, with special emphasis on extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, sports and communication skills. Values form an intrinsic part of the curriculum.
Familiarised with our rich and varied heritage, students are encouraged to value traditions and learn to do the right thing, exhibiting socially responsible behaviour. This is represented in our logo — Humanity First.

Vision & mission
We believe in the inherent goodness in every individual. Our endeavour is to encourage our students to be compassionate, value traditions, learn to do the right thing, appreciate and respect diversity and exhibit socially responsible behaviour. This is represented in our motto, “Humanity First”. We believe in transforming our young minds into future thought leaders who are ready to take their place under the sun.
The crest
The logo comprises the rising sun, with each ray giving out light and warmth to the world. Likewise, the school endeavours to spread the light of knowledge and the joy of learning all around by inculcating the feeling of universal togetherness. Just like the rising sun, we believe our students will be agents of change, illuminating the road less travelled.

Leadership
The people who set the tone.

Chairman
Mr. Raj Singh Gehlot
Every child has the inherent capability to succeed. All they need is the right atmosphere.
The dynamic and charismatic chairman of Ambience group of Companies is a man with a heart of gold. A chartered accountant by profession, his dream is to establish a world class institution that provides a safe and stimulating environment, where children are nurtured with love and care. The school is the realization of a long cherished dream of his late father Shri Nihal Singh, a visionary educator and thought leader of his times. An extraordinarily disciplined man, Mr. Gehlot feels that the importance of discipline and education in the life of an individual cannot be overstated. It shapes an individual and influences the choices made by him in later years. He believes that every child has the inherent capability to succeed, all they need is the right atmosphere which encourages discovery, a spirit of enquiry and the ability to communicate effectively. According to him education must be meaningful and relevant and must equip the child with the necessary life skills that are required to become valuable members of the society.

Co-Chairperson & Manager
Mrs. Sheela Gehlot
Children learn best by doing.
Charming and dignified, Mrs. Sheela Gehlot exudes exuberance in her thoughts and approach to education. A hands-on person herself she encourages experiential learning, as children learn best by doing. Her belief is that every individual should strive towards becoming the best they can be. She feels that apart from the usual business of literacy and numeracy children must learn respect for self and others, problem solving, conflict management and aesthetics in order to become complete individuals. Even though she is involved with all the school activities she feels closest to the children in the Pre-Primary wing and is always looking for new ways to make learning a joyful experience.

Principal
Mrs. Himani Asija
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child must be given the wish to learn.

Vice Principal
Dr. Aditi Mukul Gehlot
Education is not confined to the pages of textbooks — it is a living journey of discovery, transformation and purpose.
Education is the gentle yet powerful force that awakens the mind, refines the heart, and illuminates the path of life. At Ambience Public School, we believe that education is not confined to the pages of textbooks or the boundaries of examinations—it is a living, breathing journey of discovery, transformation, and purpose. Guided by our cherished motto, “Humanity First,” we strive to nurture young learners who rise not only in knowledge, but also in kindness, integrity, and compassion.
In a world that is evolving at an extraordinary pace, where technology reshapes realities and global connections redefine possibilities, the need for value-based education becomes ever more vital. True success is not measured by marks alone, but by the strength of character that stands firm in humility, the courage that embraces challenges, and the empathy that reaches out to others. We inspire our students to think deeply, question fearlessly, and lead with both wisdom and heart.
Every child who enters our school carries within them a universe of potential waiting to unfold. It is our privilege and responsibility to nurture that potential in an environment that is safe, inclusive, and inspiring. Our educators serve as guiding lights, encouraging curiosity, celebrating individuality, and helping each learner discover their unique strengths. Through a harmonious blend of academics, co-curricular experiences, and life skills, we prepare our students not just for examinations, but for life itself.
At Ambience Public School, education is a journey of becoming—becoming thoughtful citizens, compassionate leaders, and responsible human beings. We believe that the true essence of achievement lies not in what one attains for oneself, but in what one contributes to the world around them. Let us move forward together with hope in our hearts, curiosity in our minds, and compassion in our actions, always guided by our unwavering principle —Humanity First.
