When I first stepped onto the five acres of green that now cradle International Delhi Public School, Cherukupalli, I imagined a place where a child from Ponnapalli Village or the surrounding towns of Bapatla could find both a home and a launchpad for the future. In 2022, with the support of families, teachers and the community, I turned that vision into a reality, establishing a co‑educational institution that welcomes learners from nursery through Grade XII. Our campus, set against the gentle rise of the Guntur district, blends spacious classrooms with open fields, giving each student room to explore, experiment and grow.
Our purpose is simple: to provide an education that prepares students for the challenges of the twenty‑first century while staying rooted in the values of our region. We follow the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum, but we go beyond the textbook. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are woven into daily lessons, and we place equal emphasis on communication, critical thinking and collaborative problem‑solving. Every child who walks through our gates finds a schedule that balances rigorous academics with opportunities to discover music, art, sport and community service.
The heart of IDPS Cherukupalli is our faculty. Over one hundred teachers, all trained under the CBSE framework, work with a ratio of about one adult for every twenty students. This allows them to know each learner’s strengths and areas for growth, to intervene when needed, and to celebrate each milestone, big or small. Their commitment turns our classrooms into spaces where curiosity is encouraged and achievement is measured not just by marks but by confidence and resilience.
We serve families who want a safe, residential or day‑school environment that does not compromise on quality. Whether a child comes from a farming family in the nearby hamlet of Ponnapalli or from an urban household in Bapatla, they find a community that respects their background and pushes them toward their potential. At International Delhi Public School, Cherukupalli, education is a partnership—between teachers, parents and students—aimed at shaping individuals who can think clearly, act responsibly and contribute meaningfully to the world beyond our village boundaries.
