Nominate a school

“I nominated my daughter's school three months ago.”

The audit came back, and the governance section flagged something we'd all been quietly worried about. That's the platform working exactly as it should.

Ananya S.
Parent

“We visited three schools based on their HappySchools ratings.”

The pillar breakdown told us exactly what each school was strong at — our shortlist went from eight schools to two in an afternoon.

Priya M.
Parent

“The Talk to a Parent feature was the difference-maker.”

I spoke to a current parent for 20 minutes and learned more than I did from three open days. The honesty was refreshing.

😊 The Happiness Index — our most distinctive pillar
Most school assessments ignore how people actually feel inside the school. Ours doesn't. The Happiness Index combines real survey responses from students, parents, and teaching faculty — and carries the full weight of one pillar in the final rating. Schools are rated on a five-level scale from Emerging to Thriving.
🌱 Emerging📈 Developing⭐ Growing😊 Flourishing🌟 Thriving
60%Student voice

14 institutions.
7 pillars. Zero manual scoring.

Each pillar in our audit framework is co-developed and validated by two research institutions — one Indian, one global. We share anonymised school data with them in exchange for the methodological rigour that makes our ratings trustworthy.

Board results, year-on-year academic growth, NEP 2020 outcomes
