The Scindia School was established in 1897 as the Sardar's School by Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. In 1908, the school was relocated to its current campus on the Gwalior Fort. It merged with a military school around this time and began operating under an endowment. In 1933, the Regency Council of Gwalior renamed the school to "The Scindia School" and restructured it with a broader educational vision. The school is currently managed by a Board of Governors, chaired by Jyotiraditya Scindia.[1]
