Leading Educational Institution in Dharwad
This post showcases a ten years of hard work and initiatives to create the best schooling experience possible — and here’s everything we’ve achieved so far.
To truly appreciate what I mean by “Education for Life” and how this vision came to life, do read my earlier post. In essence, the purpose is straightforward yet meaningful: to provide every child a truly holistic education — one that encourages academic, technological, cultural, social, physical, and emotional growth.
Today, the Basavaraddi legacy successfully operates three K–12 institutions in Dharwad:
1. Basavaraddi English Medium School
2. Sharada CBSE School
3. Basavaraddi Residential School
Basavaraddi Schools – The Pride of Dharwad
The Basavaraddi Schools have become synonymous with quality, innovation, and integrity in education — here’s what sets them apart.
1. Dedicated and Skilled Teachers
Our biggest asset is our teaching team — deeply knowledgeable, professionally certified, and deeply committed. Every teacher at Basavaraddi has been with us for at least two years, with most having 10+ years of experience. Their commitment is what truly shapes our students. Discover our teaching force ?
2. Innovative Learning Approach
We believe academics must spark curiosity, not just check boxes. For Grades 1–5, we extend beyond the basics of state textbooks and use Crystal Books by Pearson. The impact has been remarkable — many of our students clear the Navodaya entrance exam without coaching. Learning is further enhanced through our specialized labs and experiential learning. For Grades 6–10, we follow NCERT Books for Science and Math, ensuring conceptual clarity and national-level standards.
3. Sports – A Way of Life
At Basavaraddi, sports are not an add-on — they’re a lifeline. Our students actively participate and achieve at state and national levels. (This is where a picture says more than words!). Year-round sports highlights and victories?
4. Co-Curriculars
Every year, dozens of our students from Basavaraddi Schools make it to Cluster, Taluk, and State-level competitions in Prathibha Karanji — an inter-school co-curricular contest.
At the school level, students participate in weekly CCA competitions, starting with house-level rounds and advancing to the school-level finals. This organized system encourages healthy competition, teamwork, and consistent skill development.
5. Passion-Based Learning
Basavaraddi Schools offer a range of hobby classes: Karate, Classical Dance, Classical Music, Physical Fitness, Coding, and Abacus. Students can pick according to their interests and cultivate a true passion. All classes are taught by external faculty who are accomplished experts in their fields.
6. Logical Aptitude Training
The foundation for excelling in future tests is strong aptitude. At Basavaraddi, students are rigorously trained to develop reasoning and quick-thinking skills, enabling them to succeed in Olympiads and other competitive exams. Reasoning is taught as a separate subject with its own Olympiad-approved books and assessments.
7. Advanced Learning Batch
Advanced topics in finance and entrepreneurship can be complex for most students. To address this, a select group is chosen schools in dharwad for the Genius Batch, where they explore advanced concepts in finance and business management.
8. Rooted in Culture
Every class begins with a short Brahmari exercise to help students enter a receptive state. Students are taught slokas and vachanas every morning, and all major festivals are celebrated with teachers and peers. This ensures every child stays rooted in culture and tradition.
9. Learning Beyond Academics
Life skills often predict future success more than academics. Through the “Ready for Life” program, students learn entrepreneurship, leadership, communication, empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving in a structured way, equipping them for life beyond school.
10. Technology Integration in Education
Through the “AI for You” program and coding lessons starting as early as Class 3, students at Basavaraddi Schools are trained in end-to-end technological education, including hands-on computer labs. This ensures they remain future-ready in an increasingly tech-driven world.
11. Basics Building / Remedial Classes
Not all students grasp at the same pace, and some need personalized assistance. Remedial classes provide dedicated periods for focused attention, ensuring every child achieves basic proficiency — fluency in English and Hindi, and mastery of the four fundamental operations in mathematics.
12. Guiding Principles of Basavaraddi Education
The principles of “Education for Life” at Basavaraddi Schools have been outlined in my previous post. In short, our goal is to foster an environment where every student looks forward to learning and values every moment of their journey. Protecting and nurturing a child’s confidence is our highest priority.
Continuing the Journey
Our endeavor is to consistently achieve the feat of being the best school in Dharwad. While we are grateful of the progress and results so far, we believe the mission to “Educate for Life” is ever-evolving. The aim is to remain relevant, effective, and inspiring for every student. For now, we are happy to have built a school that children genuinely love coming to. Celebrating the joy of learning and growth.
