Tucked inside the Vedanta township campus in Lanjigarh, with the Niyamgiri hills forming a natural backdrop, DAV Vedanta International School was established in 2006-07 as a pioneering institution in one of Odisha's more remote corners of Kalahandi district. Patronized by Vedanta Aluminium Limited and managed by the DAV College Managing Committee, New Delhi, the school was set up with a clear intent - to bring quality education to the doorstep of families in this region who would otherwise have had limited access to structured English-medium schooling. It operates as a co-educational CBSE school in Lanjigarh, running classes from Nursery through Class 12.

The school follows the CBSE curriculum across all classes and offers Science as a stream at the senior secondary level, with a track record of students appearing in JEE and NEET. The academic section of the school's website documents results and topper lists from Class 10 and Class 12 across multiple sessions. Students have also participated in Olympiads, and the school maintains separate scholastic and co-scholastic activity calendars each year. The institution holds the International School Award (ISA) for the period 2015–2018, a recognition of its international collaboration activities - a notable achievement for a school located in a region like Kalahandi.

The campus is equipped with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology laboratories, a dedicated Mathematics lab, a Computer lab, an English Language lab, and smart classrooms - an unusually comprehensive lab setup for a school in this district. The library, a clean and green campus environment, NCC unit, Scout and Guide programmes, and a botanical garden named "Sanjeevani" are other features documented on the school's website. Students have also brought recognition at the DAV National Sports Championship, with the school's gallery recording their achievements in 2023-24.

Admissions for the 2026-27 session are open, including under the RTE Paradarshi portal for eligible students. The school also accepts online fee payments through its website.
