Government Model high School, Sector-25 (often called GMHS-25 or simply 25model) is a State-funded co-educational secondary school located in Chandigarh, India, educating students in grades K–12. Founded in 1954,[1] it is the oldest school in Chandigarh and among the most selective.[2][3] The school is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education and offers twenty-three subjects at the AISSCE level,[4] among the highest for any school in the region.[5][6] It also claims a 100% pass percentage at the All India School Certificate Examination level.[4]
The school's main building was designed by Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret, along with Bhanu Pratap Mathur and Jugal Kishore Chowdhary, in line with the former's modernist ideals[7][8] and was inaugurated by the then Commissioner of the Union Territory of Chandigarh in 1954
