Chairman's Message
Children are the center of the universe; their welfare and happiness must be our ultimate goal. Education is a tool that can empower our children to shape the nation’s destiny. We established Surya Sainik School in Lucknow with the vision of combining a global outlook with strong cultural roots.
The core idea of education in India has always been to illuminate every sphere of life with knowledge and values. At Surya Sainik School, we set high standards to ensure that every student realizes his or her potential, focusing on individual growth and meaningful teacher-student engagement. Above all, we believe students must learn HOW to think, not just WHAT to think.
In line with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s vision—Freedom, Development, and Strength—we aim to nurture competent professionals, responsible citizens, and future world leaders through disciplined training and robust academics.

CEO’s Message
At Surya Sainik School, we are not just educating minds; we are empowering futures. With every cadet who walks into our campus, we see a dream for India’s tomorrow — a dream shaped by discipline, strength, courage, and compassion.
This institution is more than a school; it is a mission. A mission to nurture future defenders, innovators, and responsible citizens. Inspired by the ethos of the Indian Armed Forces and anchored in academic excellence, our school stands as a beacon of value-based education with a clear purpose — to develop young cadets who are not only intellectually equipped but morally grounded.
I believe that the foundation of a strong nation lies in the character of its youth. And here, we build that character. Through rigorous training, committed mentoring, and an atmosphere of honor, we are instilling a mindset that thrives on resilience, respect, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
As the CEO, I take immense pride in this journey we have begun — one that promises to shape the next generation of leaders, officers, and changemakers. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the parents, educators, and team members who believe in this vision and contribute to its realization every day.
“At Surya Sainik School, we do not follow a path — we create one.”
