In August 2011 when Candor opened its doors to the first cohort of students. The name of the school  was carefully chosen and the logo was consciously created by the founders The name 'Candor' is  derived from the Latin word 'candere', which means 'to shine'. It stands for openness, impartiality,   frankness, honesty, integrity and purity. We believe in 'candor' and aim to infuse this quality into our  students and into everything Candor stands for.
