In a city that values both academic excellence and holistic development, Narayana Schools have been striking the right balance, for overall development of students. For over four decades, the institution has stood as a symbol of academic achievement, innovation, and comprehensive child development through age-appropriate curricula.

Every Narayana campus goes beyond grades, instilling values, life skills, and leadership qualities. Initiatives such as Model United Nations, oratory competitions, cultural festivals, the Father-Child Fitness Fest, and Zero Hunger campaigns ensure students develop communication skills, empathy, and social responsibility alongside classroom knowledge. Meanwhile its hallmark DISHA Mental Wellness Programme, featuring mindfulness sessions, group activities, and resilience-building exercises, places students’ emotional well-being at the centre of education.

Narayana’s Andheri and Borivali campuses, ranked among the best CBSE schools in Mumbai by Mid-Day, strive to fulfil parents’ aspirations for holistic development through age-appropriate programmes.

Narayana Schools, Andheri East is one of Mumbai’s premier CBSE schools, mentoring more than 1,900 students from Nursery to Class XII. It has consistently maintained a 100 percent board exam pass rate, achieving top scores of 99 percent in Class X and 98 percent in Class XII for the academic year 2024–25. Students of Narayana Schools Andheri have also excelled in national-level competitive exams, producing 98 IIT, 33 NIT, and 8 medical admissions to date.  Parth Vartak brought laurels to the institution by securing AIR 4 in the open category of JEE Advanced 2025. Its sporting achievements are equally impressive, most notably demonstrated by Sunder Venkatesh Sawalkar’s 3rd-place finish in the DSO Divisional Level Kickboxing Championship and his selection for the DSO Nationals, showcasing a vibrant and competitive sporting culture.

Equally remarkable is Narayana Schools, Borivali campus, which mirrors Andheri’s commitment to balanced growth. Aarvi Shah’s CBSE National Skating Gold Medal highlights the support & motivation offered to students in sporting arenas. Not lagging behind academically, nine students qualified for the RMO (Regional Mathematical Olympiad), two advanced to the INMO (Indian National Mathematical Olympiad), and another earned recognition at the National Chemistry Olympiad. These accomplishments underline the school’s dedication to nurturing both intellectual excellence and sporting prowess, making it a standout among Mumbai’s leading CBSE schools.

It is not just the Andheri and Borivali campuses that shine, campuses of Narayana schools across India continue to make the nation proud, with achievers like Aayush Thakur and Vaishnavi Thakur winning three gold medals at the National Grappling Championship 2025 organised by the Wrestling Federation of India.

These accomplishments not only prove Narayana Schools’ established legacy of developing well-rounded individuals, but also highlight its commitment to fulfilling every parent’s dream of a great future for their child, encapsulated through their guiding principle: “Your Dreams Are Our Dreams.”
