The Samhita Academy

For those parents in the south-west of Bangalore, who cannot find a Prakriya -like school in their vicinity, there is another new school, "The Samhita Academy" situated off Bannerghatta road.

It was started this year, 2009 and the founder is Shibulal, COO of Infosys. He and his wife started the Advaith foundation in 2004 and their first venture "Ankur" was for under-priviledged children. They have boarding with meals for about 1000 students. They hope to incubate some of the kids into the main stream academy with a 20:80(priviledged student) ratio.

Their teaching methods are no rote memorization, open-minded and innovative thinking. Students are encouraged to have mutual respect for all sections of society.
