Website: primusschool.com

Remarks: The trust Primus trust is spearheaded by the founding members of Indus International School (Mr. Vasanth, Mr. Suryanarayanan, Captain Unni Krishnan) also.

Update (14th Oct, 2009): I paid a recent visit to the school to check it out. The infra structures are in place. I could see kids playing mini football. The campus is neat. The only thing is the bad condition of the road to the school. Prakriya school is just behind it. There is a stark difference between both schools.
Admissions are hassle-free. You can check out here.

They plan to start a state-board school in 2010. Another thing is that, though there is option for ICSE syllabus in 10th, almost all their students prefer IGCSE syllabus.
