Shigally Hill International Academy — Nurturing Excellence in the Foothills of Dehradun

Nestled in the peaceful foothills of the Doon Valley, Shigally Hill International Academy offers a serene, nature-immersed setting that is ideal for academic focus and holistic development. Surrounded by gently sloping hills and with a river flowing on three sides, the campus provides a tranquil, pollution-free atmosphere — far from the rush of the city — creating an environment where young minds can grow with clarity, calm, and inspiration.

Academic Excellence with a Personal Touch

From Class I through Class XII, Shigally follows the CISCE curriculum (ICSE & ISC), delivered in English medium, and caters exclusively to girls, combining rigorous academics with individual attention. With a healthy student-to-teacher ratio and modern teaching aids like smart classrooms, science and computer labs, the school emphasizes not just grades — but critical thinking, creativity, and real-world readiness.

Whether it's early years or pre-university classes, each student is encouraged to explore her academic potential and build a firm foundation for future pursuits.

Boarding + Homely Comfort: A True ‘Second Home’

As a full-fledged girls’ boarding school, Shigally goes beyond traditional schooling. Dormitories are thoughtfully designed to offer comfort, privacy and safety. The campus features spacious, well-ventilated classrooms, ample playfields, and balanced residential amenities that treat each student like family.

Residents of the school enjoy well-planned daily routines, healthy meals, and a supportive environment that balances discipline with warmth — giving every girl the opportunity to flourish academically, emotionally, and socially.

Holistic Growth: Beyond Academics

Shigally believes in nurturing the “whole child.” Alongside academic rigour, students have access to a rich mix of extracurriculars. From sports like horse-riding, swimming, skating, and school athletics — to creative outlets such as dance, drama, music, and visual arts — there’s something for every interest.

Public speaking, debates, Model UNs, and environmental awareness programs sharpen leadership, empathy, and global outlook. The school’s emphasis on physical fitness, mental well-being (through yoga and other wellness activities), and character building ensures a well-rounded upbringing.

Sustainable, Safe & Student-Friendly Campus

Shigally’s campus is designed with sustainability and student safety in mind. From eco-friendly initiatives (solar-powered facilities, rainwater harvesting, waste recycling) to round-the-clock security, CCTV, and trained staff, the school ensures a safe, clean, and nurturing campus life.
