The scenic Pir Panjal ranges lie to the east, separated from the school by Mashobra Valley.
Also in the vicinity are the Kalyani Helipad, the summer residence of the Governor of Punjab, the Wild Flower Hall, and famous tourist spot Kufri.
After the death of its founder, Major General Jagjit Singh, the school lost its dignity and went into the hands of a company called Alchemist.
Alchemist tried to demolish the school, but parents of the students protested and challenged the company in Shimla High Court.
Soon a society called "HISSA" was formed and funds began to pour in, with over five hundred thousand rupees raised in a week.
