One school that provides comprehensive facilities to its students to ensure that the future leaders receives nothing short of excellent educational resources is Candor Group of Schools. With campuses like Candor International School in Bangalore and Candor National Public School in Tirupathi, they aren’t just institutions—they’re communities committed to nurturing each student’s growth. As the authorized school for International Baccalaureate and Cambridge, the school focuses on the child’s holistic development as an inquirer, both in school and the world beyond. Its program provides an engaging, relevant, challenging, and significant education.

Candor International School also aspires to nurture young adults who will be catalysts for positive change both nationally and internationally, ensuring the protection of the environment and the preservation of ethical and moral values in an age of constant social, political, economic, technological, and environmental change. The vision is articulated through the core values of:
Catalyst for Change
Dr. Suresh Reddy, Founder, and Chairperson (of Candor Group of Schools), possesses an extraordinary vision and unceasing optimism that helped him to turn adversity into opportunity when he was in the USA a decade ago. Dr. Suresh’s vision is to provide ‘International Education’ that is affordable, accessible, and holistic and teaches children real-world skills.
His inspiration has been the children themselves, and he believes they must learn more moral and ethical integrity and leadership skills for the children to succeed. They should help their parents to understand that the world is changing, and children must open up to new and innovative ideas.
Dr. Suresh says, “As the contemporary age of globalized village demands preparedness for future challenges, the conventional mode of schooling and educational practices cannot be promising enough. Hence, I felt that nurturing children to become global citizens is a necessity.
He continues, “I also realized that there is a rising trend where parents opt for an overall learning experience rather than just academic excellence.”
Dr. Suresh believes the path to success is easy only if one has principles like aspiration, desire, dedication, determination, concentration, and the will to learn. Candor takes the lead by teaching students beyond the textbooks and beyond classrooms.
Leveraging Holistic Student Outcome
Candor Group of Schools’ priorities begin with helping students feel that each one of them is known and valued as individuals in their own right and that school life has a meaning and purpose for them. This is achieved in various ways, the cumulative effect of which can profoundly influence students’ sense of well-being.
Candor provides students with reliable information and deepens their understanding of their challenges. Students are also provided with the intellectual skills required to reflect critically on these challenges and the influences society brings to bear on them, including peer pressure, advertising, social media, and family and cultural values.
Facilitating Superlative Educational Standards
Candor follows an international curriculum or has elements of international education woven into their teaching and learning experience. Candor has introduced the IB and Cambridge curricula for the students. The Boarding schools provide state-of-the-art student support facilities such as academic counselors, sports and art areas, safe and comfortable study spaces, and home-like living arrangements.
These together provide the same facilities as any international institution would to its students, and thus, the students gain by studying in vibrant and intellectually challenging setups. Even the teachers in a boarding school are selected from among the best in the country. Many have international teaching experiences, too, that bring a varied perspective to the pedagogy.
Ensuring Maximum Student Engagement
Teaching is not a spectator sport, neither is learning. Candor teachers keep their students engaged in their course or the classroom. Students can never learn enough just by sitting in the classroom and listening to their teachers, as well as spitting out prepared answers or memorizing pre-defined assignments.
Dr. Suresh states, “I feel that there is a need to introduce the modern teaching method, which is activity-based and centres around the learner’s mind, which involves them entirely in the process of learning. The learner is the main focus of our curriculum preparation and teaching in the modern teaching approach. In this manner, students actively engage in the entire process to increase their knowledge and develop their abilities.”
One of the key factors of a learning project’s success is engagement.
Candor’s student engagement model is:
After all, a good learning pattern benefits both the teachers and students, and Candor brings positive outcomes for everyone associated with the course.
Glorious Achievements
Candor Group of Schools has bagged numerous prestigious awards to its name because of its pedagogical excellence. Some of them are:
Empowering Learners for Tomorrow
Candor is committed to helping every learner develop as a whole person, fulfill their potential, and help shape a shared future built on the well-being of individuals, communities, and the planet. Candor’s curriculum teaching and learning already extend well beyond the classroom and will continue to do so. As education changes to suit the future’s needs, the school is responsible for empowering students to take risks, be innovative, and seize any opportunity thrown their way.
There are two factors to help and empower the learners. First is a personalized learning environment that supports and motivates students to nurture their passions, make connections between different learning experiences and opportunities, and design their own learning projects and processes in collaboration with others. The second is building a solid foundation: literacy and maths remain crucial.
“The change I would like to bring is to bridge the gap between academics and industry needs. I would like the primary objective of an educational ecosystem to pave the way for the holistic development of each and every student,” concludes Dr. Suresh.
