The motto of AWES is ‘Quality Education at affordable cost’ .The aim of the school, in common with Army Public Schools all over the country, is to provide children of Army personnel with assured admission at any place of posting and an excellent all round education which prepares them for responsible participation in civic life.The School was set up in 1974 as a Balak Mandir of the Bombay Sappers. It grew rapidly and in 1981 was named the Bombay Sappers Public School. In 1984 it was converted into an Army School under the aegis of Army Welfare Education Society.
