Rooted in a legacy of knowledge, leadership, and progressive thinking, The Khaitan School draws inspiration from the rich heritage of the Khaitan family of Ramgarh, Rajasthan. The family's commitment to education dates back to the 1800s, when its forefathers became among the first members of the Marwari community to complete Matriculation. This legacy includes distinguished personalities such as Shri Kali Prasad Khaitan, the first Marwari Barrister and former Advocate General of West Bengal, and Shri Devi Prasad Khaitan, a member of the Constitution of India's Drafting Committee, led by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.

Established in 1995, The Khaitan School carries this legacy forward by creating meaningful learning experiences that extend beyond academics. With a community of over 3,700 students, 250+ staff members, and an alumni network of more than 11,000 members, the school remains dedicated to its founders' vision of holistic education, empowering students with the knowledge, values, and skills to grow into confident and responsible individuals.
