History[]

The first Nursery school in 1989

In April 1989, CHIREC began as a summer camp that offered training in fine arts, performing arts, computers, indoor and outdoor sports. In June, CHIREC evolved into a school for Nursery, PPI & PPII students. As the number of students wishing to attend CHIREC increased beyond the capacity of its 1993 Begumpet and Jubilee Hills campuses, in 1996, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated CHIREC's eco-friendly 6-acre Integrated Campus at Kondapur.
