LITTLE ANGELS MODERN HIGH SCHOOL Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” Little Angels Modern High School, founded in 1981, is the brainchild of Late Wing Cdr V K S Rao, a highly decorated officer of the Indian Air Force. Along with his wife Late Lakshmi Rao and daughter Late Prema Rao who were experienced educators, he nurtured their dream of establishing a full-fledged school catering to the children of middle income and lower income groups in the year 1994. Today Little Angels has blossomed into a flower imparting quality education with emphasis on Indian values to the children right from Montessori to the Secondary level.
