Rainbow International School is proud to share that it was honoured with the prestigious title of 'The Leading School of the Year – Thane' at the Pride of Bharat Awards 2021, presented by Trade & Media Group, New Delhi. On the same occasion, Rainbow Preschool International was awarded 'The Most Promising Preschool Chain of the Year – Maharashtra.' The dual recognition reflects the sustained commitment of the Rainbow family to educational excellence across both its school and preschool institutions.
About the Pride of Bharat Awards
The Pride of Bharat Awards, presented annually by Trade & Media Group, New Delhi, celebrate institutions and individuals across sectors who have demonstrated outstanding achievement, consistent quality, and a meaningful contribution to their field and their community. In the education category, the awards recognise schools and educational institutions that have distinguished themselves through academic excellence, innovative teaching, student development, and institutional leadership.
Being recognised at this level — among the best educational institutions across India — is a validation of the work that Rainbow International School's teachers, leadership team, students, and families have invested over more than a decade of consistent effort.
What the Award Recognises
The 'Leading School of the Year – Thane' award recognises Rainbow International School's achievement across several dimensions:
- Academic excellence — consistently strong CBSE Board results across Class X and Class XII, with a pattern of improvement and high achiever output
- Holistic development — the school's sustained commitment to co-curricular activity, sports, arts, and character development alongside academic rigour
- World-class infrastructure — a 3.5-acre campus with comprehensive facilities including smart classrooms, science laboratories, sports facilities, arts studios, and a school infirmary
- Student-centred culture — a school community built around genuine care for every child's individual development, wellbeing, and growth
- Community engagement — the school's partnership with parents, its active contribution to Thane's educational landscape, and its role as a trusted institution in the Brahmand and Thane West communities
Rainbow Preschool International: Most Promising Preschool Chain of Maharashtra
Rainbow Preschool International (RPS) — the preschool network associated with Rainbow International School — was simultaneously awarded 'The Most Promising Preschool Chain of the Year – Maharashtra.' This recognition reflects RPS's rapid growth, the consistent quality of its early childhood programmes, and its distinctive educational philosophy of play-based, child-centred learning.
RPS provides the natural feeder pathway into Rainbow International School for families who value continuity of educational approach — children who begin their learning journey at RPS find a familiar, coherent philosophy when they transition into Rainbow International School's Pre-Primary and Primary programmes.
A Word from the Rainbow Family
The award was accepted on behalf of both institutions by Mrs. Divya Singh, Principal of Rainbow International School, who expressed the gratitude of the entire Rainbow community: 'This recognition belongs to our students, our teachers, and our families — every one of whom contributes to the Rainbow community that makes achievements like this possible. It is an honour to serve the families of Thane West, and this award deepens our commitment to being the school of first choice for every family in our community.'
For the Rainbow team, this recognition is not a destination — it is a milestone on a journey of continuous improvement, innovation, and commitment to the families who trust the school with the education of their most important people.
Rainbow International School: A Consistent Record of Recognition
The Pride of Bharat Award is one of several prestigious recognitions Rainbow International School has received since its founding in April 2009. The school's consistent appearance on regional and national 'best school' lists — alongside its strong Board results, co-curricular achievements, and community reputation — reflects a culture of excellence that is embedded in every dimension of the institution.
With over 3,000 current students, 1 Lakh+ lives impacted since founding, and a faculty of dedicated, highly qualified educators, Rainbow International School continues to be the first choice for thousands of families across Thane West and the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Conclusion
Rainbow International School's recognition as 'The Leading School of the Year – Thane' at the Pride of Bharat Awards 2021 is a reflection of the commitment, quality, and care that the entire Rainbow community brings to education every day. We are grateful to the families who trust us with their children, the teachers who bring excellence to every classroom, and the students who inspire us with their growth and achievement. Admissions for the 2026–27 academic year are open. We warmly invite every family to visit our campus in Brahmand Phase 4, Thane West, and experience the Rainbow difference for themselves.
