In April of 1989, CHIREC began as a summer camp that offered training in fine arts, performing arts, computers, indoor and outdoor sports. In June, CHIREC evolved into a school for Nursery, PPI & PPII students. As the number of students wishing to attend CHIREC increased beyond the capacity of its 1993 Begumpet and Jubilee Hills campuses, in 1996, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated CHIREC’s eco-friendly 6-acre Integrated Campus at Kondapur.

CHIREC unveiled its new Jubilee Hills pre-primary school campus, and introduced Senior Secondary classes at the Kondapur campus, in 2004. Shortly after, in 2006, the first batch of Class XII graduated from the school. The Gachibowli branch, which caters to students from Grades 1 through 4, was inaugurated in 2012.
