Run and managed by Columbus Shiksha Prasar Samiti, Rudrapur, the school came into existence on 7th April, 1997 with an objective to achieve a qualitative improvement in education.
Affiliated to CBSE, a day-cum-residential school with Science and Commerce streams at +2 level, the school aims at preparing the students for a free expression of their inborn talents coupled with their acquired skills in term of performances in various fields of activities that the school opens to them.
Believing that character formation and personality development are the core of any sound education system, great stress is laid on forming in students habits of piety, virtue, discipline and self efficiency; grooming them into dutiful children of their parents, concerned components of society, responsible citizens of their motherland India and individuals fit for the upcoming world order.
Keeping in line with the child centred education, the teaching-learning activities are formulated pertaining to the status of an individual child and thus facilitating the attainment of the desired outcome.
Modelled and developed on the Kindergarten system of learning, the separate nursery wing known as PINK PETALS at its very first sight appeals to the senses of the tiny-tots and drives them crazy for coming to school.
Being a day-cum-residential school, the school provides high standard boarding facilities for both boys and girls. Every boarder is given personal care. The hostel is simply a home away from home.
With exemplary progress shown over the past years, the school is sailing on an endless journey of success.
CPS is located in the serene surroundings of the Tarai region on the foot hills of the Himalayas in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand. The city of Rudrapur was founded by King Rudra (r. 1565-1597), a king of the Chand Dynasty, which ruled over the Kumaon Kingdom in the 16th century.
CPS is situated in the midst of one of the posh colonies of the town. The location of the school presents a magnificent calm and ideal ambience for learning.
