Principal-Deccan International School
Mrs. Usha Devi
Principal

With nearly three decades of experience in education, she is a passionate educator and school leader committed to nurturing learning environments where every child is encouraged to think, explore, and grow with confidence. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that true education extends beyond academic excellence to nurture character, curiosity, compassion, and a lifelong love for learning.

At Deccan International School, this translates into an equal emphasis on academics, sports, fine arts, and performing arts, ensuring every child discovers and develops their unique potential. She believes the strongest schools are built through collaboration, where teachers learn, lead, and grow together in pursuit of a shared vision.

Her vision is to build a future-ready learning community where strong values and emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, work hand in hand to prepare students with the confidence, wisdom, and integrity to shape the future.

Mrs. Malathi Jaipal
Vice Principal

Children are born with a natural desire to learn, just as they are born to breathe. For over two decades, she has believed that the role of education is to preserve and nurture that gift. The true measure of education is not what children know, but the resilience and empathy they carry through life.

She views the curriculum as a means to challenge children to think independently, learn from mistakes, and find joy in learning. By drawing on the strengths of both the ICSE and Cambridge curricula, she strives to create learning experiences that prepares learners not only for academic success, but for the opportunities and challenges of life.

Above all, she believes that every child has a unique journey, and education should empower them to realise their own strengths and purpose.
