Vidya Valley School is a private, co-educational, day school located in Sus, in Pune, Maharashtra, India.[1] The school was founded by Nalini Sengupta in 2001 from her residence in Aundh.[2] The school's curriculum is affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations and the National Institute of Open Schooling provides the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education to its graduates.[3]

The school is known for its sporting infrastructure, and its participation in inter-school sporting competitions, particularly those of football,[4][5][6] rock climbing,[7] and chess.[8] The school is also known for its affiliation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Cubes in Space programme,[9][10] and the Space Foundation's Teachers Liaison programme at the Space Symposium.[11][12] The school also has a programme for special needs children.[13] The school's environmental sciences programme has been previously affiliated with the 2041 Foundation started by Robert Swan.[14] The school has a student exchange programme with the Rungsted Gymnasium in Rungsted, Denmark.[15] The school's faculty and students have advocated against the bursting of firecrackers in India during Diwali,[16] and the promotion of eco-friendly sewage treatment and water harvesting.[17]

In 2015, the school's campus was controversially declared illegal by the district primary education officer of the Maharashtra English Schools Trustees’ Association for allegedly having moved its campus from Baner to Sus without the necessary permissions.[3] The officer in question was subsequently suspended.[18]
