Manisha Razdan brings over three decades of distinguished experience in teaching and school leadership, with an established record of building academically rigorous institutions and preparing students for the demands of competitive global universities. Her leadership philosophy is anchored in three defining principles: clarity of standards, depth of learning, and outcomes that withstand external scrutiny.
As Head of School at Jayshree Periwal International School, Manisha oversees a comprehensive curricular framework offering the IB Primary Years Programme, IB Middle Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE, and the IB Diploma Programme. This intentional progression provides students with intellectual breadth in their formative years while enabling increasingly focused academic specialisation as they mature. The structure is designed to cultivate robust foundational competencies while empowering students to make well-informed choices as academic expectations intensify and personal direction becomes clearer.
Under her stewardship, students have consistently demonstrated excellence across multiple domains. The school has produced Cambridge World and Country Toppers, achieved sustained success in the Cambridge Schools Science Competition, and recorded strong performances in international Olympiads. Academic distinction is complemented by high-level co-curricular achievement: students have earned national-level sports representation and competed successfully on international and Harvard Model United Nations debate circuits. These outcomes reflect not isolated excellence, but a culture in which challenge, preparation, and performance are tightly aligned.
