The Scindia School is a residential school for boys, located on Gwalior Fort in Gwalior, India. It was founded in 1897 by Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia of the princely Gwalior State, initially under the name Sardar’s School. Originally established to educate the sons of royalty and nobility, the institution expanded admissions in 1933 to include students from broader social backgrounds. Since then, it has operated as an independent boarding school affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

History

The Scindia School was established in 1897 as the Sardar's School by Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. In 1908, the school was relocated to its current campus on the Gwalior Fort. It merged with a military school around this time and began operating under an endowment. In 1933, the Regency Council of Gwalior renamed the school to "The Scindia School" and restructured it with a broader educational vision. The school is currently managed by a Board of Governors, chaired by Jyotiraditya Scindia.[5]
