==History==<br />
The school commenced in 1963, it was then called "Modern School." Started as a primary school, it was opened by an Indian Air Force Officer's war widow Ms. V Kohli in a community centre building located at the [[Indian Air Force]] Junior Commissioned Officers Enclave.<ref name=afs>{{cite web|title=Air Force School History|url=http://afschoolchakeriknp.in/History.php|publisher=afschoolchakeriknp.in}}</ref><br />
<br />
The school became so busy that it started operating in two shifts, which is still the norm. Soon the [[Indian Air Force]] took over the school and the leading lady was offered a position of Vice Principal - Primary Division. The new principal Mr. C Chatterjee was from a boarding school background in eastern [[India]]. At this stage (1981) the [[school]] moved into the existing building, of which only the L shaped front and central structure was present then. It also upgraded including Higher secondary divisions in 1985, and ultimately senior secondary classes in 1988. Grades XI & XII were initially offered in Science and Commerce streams only. In 2010, the school was awarded ISO 9001:2008 by BSCIC for its Quality Management System.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}<br />
