History

Jamia Middle School shares its history with Jamia Millia Islamia. It was established on 29th October 1920 at Aligarh. In 1925, it was shifted to Karol Bagh, Delhi, where the foundations of Primary Education were laid down. The present campus came into existence on 1st March, 1935. It was from this point in time that Jamia Middle School became an ideal place for community teaching and it was here that, under the guidance of Dr. Zakir Hussain, the first experimental teaching was successfully conducted. ‘Learning by doing’ was the core ideology behind Basic Education which is still the essence of the school.
