Adani GEMS School of Excellence Tops Lucknow, India Ranking
Newzdaddy Education Updates
I found that Cfore is a research group that has been ranking schools in India for many years. They ask parents, teachers, principals, education experts, and students about schools in your area and across the country. They rated schools on things like teaching, infrastructure, innovation, leadership, and student care, with over 55,000 people taking part between March and July 2025
Rankings based on insights from parents, teachers, principals, educationists and students across 14 parameters of excellence. The survey asked those stakeholders to rate schools on 14 key things—like teacher quality, curriculum, school leadership, how they help students one-on-one, academic strength, and more. Awards to be conferred at a grand ceremony in New Delhi on 10 September. The survey ends in July, and they decided to give awards on 10 September 2025 in New Delhi, which gives schools a chance to celebrate in front of education leaders.
Adani GEMS School of Excellence, Lucknow, has been recognised as the 3rd Best Emerging School in India (Indian curriculum) and the No. 1 Best Emerging School in Lucknow, a milestone that highlights its growing reputation for educational excellence in its first year of operations. This is a big deal for a brand-new school. Getting to 3rd place in India and first in Lucknow shows they’re doing something special right from the start.
The recognition was announced by Cfore, a multidisciplinary research organisation that conducted a nationwide survey to identify the top emerging private schools in India. Respondents, including parents, teachers, principals, educationists and students, rated schools on a 10-point scale across 14 parameters, covering academics, pedagogy, infrastructure, innovation and student development.
Again, this shows they gathered feedback from lots of different people on many factors—not just tests or buildings, but things like innovation and student growth. The official award ceremony will take place on 10 September in New Delhi, where leading educationists and institutions will be honoured. This gives the school a chance to be celebrated by top people in education across India.
Since its inception, Adani GEMS School of Excellence has distinguished itself through innovative pedagogy, world-class infrastructure and a focus on holistic student empowerment. On their website, the school says learning is built through play, creative thinking, inquiry, real-world learning, global citizenship, arts, STEM, Indian heritage, emotional and social skills, and more. That means they want kids to learn not just facts, but how to think, feel, explore, and grow.
Commenting on the achievement, Dr Priti Adani, Chairperson, Adani GEMS Education, said: “This recognition reinforces our belief that education must go beyond academics to create socially responsible, confident, and compassionate individuals. Being named the top emerging school in Lucknow and among the best in India is both an honour and a responsibility as we continue to set benchmarks in progressive education.”
Dr Priti Adani wants education to help children learn to be caring and confident, not just smart. This award shows their ideas are working. The award underscores the school’s role as a transformative institution, committed to nurturing creativity, critical thinking and values that prepare learners to thrive as global citizens. With this recognition, Adani GEMS School of Excellence reaffirms its mission to inspire young minds, strengthen community engagement and build a brighter future.
