History

In April 1989, the Children Recreational Centre (CHIREC) began as a summer camp that offered classes in fine arts, performing arts, computers, and indoor and outdoor sports. The same year in June, CHIREC evolved into a school for Nursery, PP-I and PP-II students. In 1996, the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated CHIREC's eco-friendly 6-acre Integrated Campus at Kondapur. In 2004, CHIREC unveiled its Jubilee Hills Pre-Primary school campus, and introduced Senior Secondary classes at the Kondapur campus. Shortly after, in 2006, the first batch of Class XII graduated from the school. In 2008, the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) was introduced and in 2011 the Cambridge International General Certificate of Education Cambridge International| A/AS levels] for Classes 10 and 12 were set in motion. In 2012, CHIREC gained authorization for International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The Gachibowli branch, which caters to students from Grades 1 through 3, was also inaugurated in 2012.

In 2019, CHIREC entered into a partnership with Cognita, a global schools’ group with 76 schools across Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
