== Controversy ==

In 2016, hundreds of parents and some teachers protested outside the school for several days over disagreements with the school's leadership. This led to the school being closed for one week. The protesters claimed there to be an anti-Indian sentiment and inappropriate language towards female members of staff. In addition, there were claims that the school would discriminate against students bringing their own food instead of using the onsite caterer, [[Sodexo]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2016/nov/02/500-parents-stage-protest-against-school-director-1534061.html|title=500 parents stage protest against school director|work=The New Indian Express|access-date=2018-03-31}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=Nov 2, 2016|title=Parents, teachers of Hiranandani school allege harassment by management {{!}} Chennai News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Parents-teachers-of-Hiranandani-school-allege-harassment-by-management/articleshow/55191970.cms|access-date=2020-08-09|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>

Some teachers on the other hand defended the schools' leadership, citing cultural differences which may have led to misunderstandings or misinterpretations.

The school reopened after assurances had been given pending an investigation.

In 2017, CBSE disaffiliated the school, and now only the IB section remains.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/cbse-disaffiliates-school/article19831237.ece|title=CBSE disaffiliates school|date=2017-10-10|work=The Hindu|access-date=2018-04-03|others=Special Correspondent, Special Correspondent|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
