Here, we prioritize holistic growth, providing each learner with tailored attention and fostering an environment where every child's unique potential is cherished. With a proud teacher-student ratio of 1:8 and intimate class sizes of 25 to 30 students, we ensure personalized care and support, nurturing each child's development with unwavering dedication.
Fostering Integrity
Our mission is to nurture individuals who exude confidence in their innate abilities and talents. Within the Gurukula community, we foster a culture of self-awareness and integrity, where every student is empowered to flourish and embrace their authentic selves.
Growing up with bonds
Within our vibrant community, children immerse themselves in shared experiences and core values, forging enduring interpersonal bonds that transcend time. Even after graduation, our alumni network serves as a steadfast anchor, sustaining these cherished connections as students embark on their individual journeys.
Being in Touch
At GIRS, we foster the art of communication by encouraging students to write letters to their parents weekly. Through a dedicated phone system, students can connect with their families at scheduled times, while parents can reciprocate with letters or emails to both their children and the school staff. Additionally, our campus is seamlessly connected through a cutting-edge speaker system, ensuring that students and staff can be reached anywhere, creating a supportive and connected community.
Health & Wellness
Emotional Wellbeing is a vital ingredient for balanced growth and progress. Resident teachers have their living quarters adjacent to the dormitories and double up as dorm parents. They are accessible to the students at all times. Students have a tight schedule, which does not normally allow for homesickness to overcome them; but when it does happen, they are counseled and supported by dorm parents and teachers. Students are well cared for, and our teachers ensure they deal with problems effectively, helping them to adapt to their environment.
Physical Wellbeing: For any medical needs or emergencies, we have a well-equipped and high quality infirmary with trained nurses and doctors visiting the campus. All such needs are addressed and attended to immediately.
Safety
Being fully aware of the trust placed in us, safety and security of students are of paramount importance to us. We have rigorous measures in place to safeguard the campus and community. Our safety and security measures include:
– A secure and gated campus
– CCTV monitoring throughout the campus
– Trained security personnel
– Rigorous security checks at entry
– Internet safety protocols
Food
Recognizing that we are what we eat, all meals are freshly prepared on campus multiple times a day from produce sourced locally or grown in our kitchen gardens. Children also seasonally treat themselves to freshly plucked fruit from the many campus trees!
