Sainik School Kapurthala, a legacy of excellence

Inaugurated on 8th July 1961 by the then Defence Minister V.K. Krishna Menon, the school prepares cadets academically, physically, and mentally for entry into NDA and other defence academies. It is a fully residential school affiliated to CBSE.

Focus areas include discipline, leadership, and academic excellence — shaping cadets who are not merely students but future officers of the Indian Armed Forces.
