Kannada School | Heritage School | Our Schools  

The Kannada school is located on the 21st Km of Kanakapura road.  It was established with a commitment towards excellence in holistic education for children from rural backgrounds. This school provides free education for over 2000 children from around 45 villages in the surrounding area.

A majority of the children in this school are first generation learners. They are the first in their families to receive any kind of formal and structured education. 

There is a fleet of school buses that pick up the children from their homes in the morning to take them to school. The children all wait with their friends and classmates from the same village for the bus which arrives at around 8:30 in the morning. This transport is provided to them for free.

New sets of uniforms, schoolbooks and even bags are provided to the children so that they do not forsake their education for want of any of these material amenities

The children are given healthy and nutritious mid day meals from the school
The teachers also come from the same background so that they can understand the mindset of the students and relate to them in a better way. 

The school focuses on the all-round development of the child. In order to bring the students into the mainstream of society various workshops like the ART Excel program  are conducted. This helps the child to gain confidence and perform better in the educational and cultural fields. 

Along with academics, education is balanced with an emphasis on social responsibilities and human values. They also participate in various co-curricular activities like dance, music, drama, debates, tree planting campaigns, sports and a host of other activities. The local culture is emphasized and the folk art forms are maintained by inculcating a healthy respect for their own culture.

 The girl children of 8th, 9th, 10th undergo training in tailoring. This gives them a skill in their hands even by the time complete their studies. All these children also receive training in basic computer skills as this has become a very common pre-requisite for employment today. For these rural children, this is a source of great confidence that they have a means for earning their living as they complete their education

The children have been provided with a healthy and nurturing atmosphere. The school follows the State Board of Karnataka syllabus. In spite of 95% of the students being first generation learners, the school has had a 100%  pass rate in the board exams! The parents of these children are so happy to see them going to school whereas otherwise they would have been working in the fields and other such places even at this young age.

There are many more such children waiting to be supported. You can participate in making this beautiful vision come true. 

You can make a difference in the lives of these children and help them realize their dreams.
