“Education is the greatest investment a society makes in its future.”
This guiding belief was the lifelong conviction of Shri N. S. Dixit, the visionary Founder
Chairman of the City International Group of Schools. Nearly three decades ago, he planted
the seeds of an institution that would empower thousands of young learners and inspire
generations of educators. Today, City International School stands as a living testament to his
dream, commitment, and unshakeable faith in the transformative power of education.
Born into a family deeply rooted in values, culture, and service, Mr. Dixit grew up with a
natural inclination towards community upliftment. A man of remarkable clarity, humility, and
foresight, he firmly believed that education must nurture the whole child—mind, heart, and
character. His work spanned business, social service, and educational leadership, yet his
central passion always remained the same: to provide quality education that is accessible,
relevant, and future-ready.
Under his visionary leadership, the foundation of CIS was laid not merely as a school, but as
an ecosystem of learning—one that blends academic excellence with moral strength,
discipline with compassion, and tradition with progressive thinking. With an unwavering
belief that every child deserves the right environment to discover their best self, he cultivated
a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous improvement throughout the institution.
Throughout his journey, Dixit sir carried a deep sense of responsibility towards society. His
initiatives in education were rooted in the belief that empowered children ultimately build
empowered communities. His vision gave shape to campuses that today have nurtured
thousands of students, educators, and families across Pune.
What he began as a mission with a handful of dedicated educators has now blossomed into a
group of flourishing institutions—each carrying forward his legacy of integrity, perseverance,
and compassion.
Even today, the values he embodied continue to guide us. His principles of hard work,
honesty, respect for every individual, and commitment to nation-building remain at the heart
of everything we do at City International School.
The journey initiated by Shri N.S. Dixit is now carried forward with dedication and
spirit by his family and the CIS leadership team, who remain deeply committed to
expanding his vision and strengthening the legacy he left behind.
Dixit sirs life is a reminder that one person’s dream, fuelled by purpose and service, can
transform countless lives. His legacy continues to illuminate our path as we shape young
minds into confident, capable, and compassionate global citizens.
His vision inspires us.
His values guide us.
His legacy lives in every child who walks through the doors of City International School.
