Our school is located in the outskirts of Bangalore, away from a polluting atmosphere with a huge area for games and other activities. Our classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated, with only 20-25 students in each class. Interpersonal relations between students and teachers are therefore more effective.

As a result, our students develop a well-rounded personality, equipped to deal with life much more confidently.

The school has Yoga, Swimming, Martial Art and Games like Cricket, Golf, Football, Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton, Throw Ball, Basketball, Volleyball, Hockey, Art & Craft, Music & Dance, and Computer Education as part of the curriculum, and are compulsory for all students.
