Gnan Srishti School of Excellence

HSR Layout had a new school come up called Gnan Srishti School of Excellence in 2009. It is beside the old Cambridge Public School Campus.

Syllabus: ICSE

Location: Gnan Srishti School of Excellence
19th Main, 17th Cross,
Sector 1, HSR Layout,
Bangalore - 560 102

Phone: 080-22582002, 9845319944, 9480776847
email: admin@gsshsr.com

Classes: Montessori, Kindergarten till 10th. In 2009 there were classes till 5th or so.
Activities: Swimming, Dance, Music, Basketball

Admissions: Admissions have opened up for 2011-2012.
Fees: In 2009, admission fees was 40K, this year it is 45K.

Remarks: The school I was told is owned by the leaser of the Cambridge School adjacent (not sure). They had a swimming pool originally and the building was converted to a school.

They have a swimming pool and kids play area and a small court inside the premises.

Academic wise, the teaching is very good. One parent was telling me, that they never have to teach their child and everything is handled by the teachers excellently. School being new also has less class strength and individual attention is good.

Day care facility is available.

Xseed, Mirambika School for New Age and Sri Aurobindo

Schools founded on the thinking of visionaries like Krishnamurthy are few like Shibumi and Rishi Valley (only two in Bangalore that I know of). Another visionary whose principles are closely followed is Sri Aurobindo. The school which is intent on its path is Mirambika School for New Age. This school in JP Nagar caught my attention for a totally different reason,which I have mentioned at the end.

Syllabus: School is affiliated to CBSE but follows the "Integrated Education with free Progress System"
Location: Mirambika School for New Age
Sri Aurobindo Complex Trust
Sri Aurobindo Marg,
9th Cross, 30th Main,
J.P. Nagar 1st Phase
Bangalore- 560 078.
Phone: 080- 26640562
Email: sactmsf@vsnl.net

Website: www.newrace.org
Classes: Nursery till 10th standard

Admission: Forms are available online and set of rules can be looked up.Interview process followed.
Facilities: Gym, Meditation Hall, Music, Dance, Arts

Remark: The school has a set of guidebooks to induce the child to Sri Aurobindonean literature. The Integrated Education System they try to inculcate is a system devised by the Mother and is goverened by the soul. You can go through their website for full details on their philosophy and the kind of education they try to impart.

My interest in this school stemmed from the reason that they were using the XSEED method of education. This method of education was mentioned to me by a friend of mine whose kids are into XSEED methods and books.Xseed is an integrated curriculum for any syllabus like ICSE or CBSE. They give the tools like workbooks, activities are pre-planned for a subject making it easier for staff. It aims to inculcate the child with concepts rather than rash thought processes. Teachers are also trained for this methodology.
In a nut-shell, the method of using xseed in school has made it easier for the child to understand concepts, no rote learning. Every aspect of teaching a subject is well-planned.

Mirambika School is one of those few schools other than Mother Teresa Public School and Bangalore International School which use Xseed method. You can check out more on Xseed at http://www.xseed.in/.  There is an Xseed Pre-School in Sarjapur Road as well (ITTINA Soupernika Apartment Complex, #3/2 Kaikondahalli, Sarjapur Main Road (Nr. Wipro Corporate Office).

Safety structures at Vyasa School

I had already mentioned in an earlier post regarding the disputed land of Vyasa International School. Seems to be that the case is still in court.

Construction work was going on nearby and the 150 or so students were at risk. So finally safety structures have been put in place and kids are now safer.

More on Vyasa International School.
