Fifty-five years of teaching West Delhi's children
Oxford Senior Secondary School was established in 1970 under the patronage of the Hansraj Prabhakar Education Society — and has been growing, quietly and steadily, ever since.
Comprehensive education, for the whole of a child
The school strives to meet the challenging need of providing comprehensive education to develop the various aspects of a child's personality.
Oxford is recognised by the Directorate of Education, Delhi Administration, and has been affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education provisionally since 1984 — an affiliation that runs up to 31 March 2028. Alongside the formal curriculum, students take part in school governance and a wide programme of co-curricular activity, so that they leave as well-informed and self-assured young men and women.
What we set out to do
- Impart education using modern methods
- Foster independent and clear thinking
- Emphasise character building and self-discipline
- Develop creative and social abilities
- Prepare students for the twenty-first century

Education, which is the ultimate goal of progress, ennobles us and makes us learn to live in all humility. Our motto enthuses us to be polite and courteous to all living beings.
Two educationists who saw further than most
Vision and foresight is the difference between any institution and the great ones.

“God combined all these qualities… and this masterpiece came to be known as Kiron Prabhakar, the noble soul.”
They invested their sweat and blood into the most important people in the world — children — and Oxfordians are their harvest. Their relentless service and dedication to the cause of education has been instrumental in leading Oxford to its present glory.
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”
Oxford Senior Secondary School is a proud, mission-driven institution, providing a world class education, celebrating the fact that each student is different as a person and as a learner. We believe that powerful learning and teaching occurs under a shared spirit of respect which creates a passionate schooling experience recognised for its warmth, energy and excellence. Here, people are valued and can fulfil their potential both as teachers and learners.
Committed management, dedicated educators and cooperative parents work together to create a truly child-centric learning environment, instilling values of discipline, integrity and honesty through academic and co-curricular life alike.
