The SelaQui School was established in October 2000 in Dehradun, a hill town in Uttar Pradesh (now in Uttrakhand). The founder, Mr. Om Pathak, is a former IAS officer of the Uttar Pradesh Cadre. Mr. Om Pathak has been closely associated with education and is the founder of DPS Ghaziabad and other educational institutions and bodies. In 2004, the SelaQui School was renamed SelaQui World School as it had been authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) Diploma Program. In 2010, the school became SelaQui International School (or SIS), due to an objection raised by the IBO on the use of the word ‘World’.
