Best School in Malad East | Orchids International School

Orchids follows a global curriculum that effectively combines modern experiential learning with tradition. It is designed to establish a solid foundation and foster practical skills.

Safety measures are strictly enforced throughout the OIS Malad East campus. Our premise is under the surveillance of cameras that function round-the-clock. We also have strict campus entry and exit points. Also, no male staff can interact with primary students since we allow only female staff to engage with students from primary sections. Meanwhile, we have staff trained and recruited only after thorough background checks. Our professional security and medical staff undergo routine training to address any emergency. 

For a reliable and safe commute, we have GPS-enabled buses, a trained lady attendant, and an Eduvate app for parents to track and get real-time updates relating to location and routes.
