Prakriya Green Wisdom School, Bangalore

ABOUT

Overview

The Campus : In 1999 the Foundation started the Prakriya Green Wisdom School to focus on holistic, humanistic and ecologically wise education. During the last 2 decades, Prakriya has been a pioneer in creative school education and has become one of the top alternative schools in India that takes learning far beyond the basic requirements of the curriculum. Prakriya has focused on experiential learning with a deep concern for the inner nature of every child and her learning patterns; as well as on building a learning community and culture based on the principles of nature which include valuing diversity, relationships and processes, interconnectedness, energy flows and infinite (or spiritual) search. The school is located in Bangalore about 10 km from Koramangla and 2 km off Doddakaneli on the Sarjapura Road. Children love and thrive in an environment close to nature - Prakriya is close to the city but it is blessed with fresh air, green rural ambience, a view of a lake and gently undulating land around the campus. Within the campus are over a 100 species of trees and uncounted number of shrubs, herbs and weeds and a steadily increasing population of birds, insects and other fauna. The football, basketball courts, long jump pit and auditorium which are prime attractions for children are located amidst all the greenery. The school has separate blocks for Nursery, Primary, Middle and High School sections and an Administration Block. The design of the classrooms, activity and play areas, as well as the facilities in each block are age appropriate. Adding to the ambience is a pond, the Buddha lobby, the Panchavati, the Devar Kadu, Dhanvantri, Pintu Python, Eki-Doki, Organic vegetable garden and the Honge Theatre.
