About School Uniforms, Bus and Kitchen Facilities

Do you have school-Houses?

Yes. Our school Houses are named after the panchamaha bhutas – Aakash, Agni, Jal, Vayu and Prithvi.

What about the school uniform?

There is no school uniform, but children have “Kurtas” in their house colours which they need to wear on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Voluntary Simplicity is a value we wish to follow at School and children are expected to wear simple clothes commonly accepted by the school community. Details about the dress code are available in the school dairy.

Can I have information about the school bus facility?

Students and teachers take the school bus which follows certain routes from Koramangala, HSR, Sarjapur Road and Marathahalli. Admission is given only to children who stay along the existing routes. We will be adding more routes 10 kms in and around the school i.e. towards Carmelaram, Decathlon Sarjapur Road, Gattahalli. We are also in the process of restricting the bus facility to areas that are within a radius of 10 kms from the school. Click here for the bus routes. This is because we do not wish any child to travel more than 1 hour by bus to reach school.

Bus routes will be displayed at the school office during admissions.
