The Best School in Dharwad
This post highlights a ten years of dedicated efforts and programs to deliver the most holistic educational environment possible — and here’s a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished.
To grasp what I mean by “Education for Life” and how this philosophy took shape, do check out my earlier post. In essence, the vision is simple yet profound: to offer every child a well-rounded learning experience — one that develops academic, technological, cultural, social, physical, and emotional growth.
Today, the Basavaraddi legacy continues to manage three comprehensive schools in Dharwad:
1. Basavaraddi English Medium School
2. Sharada CBSE School
3. Basavaraddi Residential School
Why Basavaraddi Schools are the Best in Dharwad
We take pride in offering a balanced education that blends knowledge, culture, and life skills — here’s how we do it.
1. Exceptional Teaching Faculty
Our core foundation is our faculty — highly experienced, rigorously trained, and passionately devoted. Every teacher at Basavaraddi has been with us for at least two years, with most having over a decade of experience. Their passion is what defines our students. Meet our teachers ?
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 extra — 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. Building Confidence Through Co-Curriculars
Every year, multiple students and teams from Basavaraddi Schools qualify for 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 progressing to the school-level finals. This structured approach encourages healthy competition, teamwork, and continuous growth in talent.
5. Passion-Based Learning
Basavaraddi Schools offer a range of hobby classes: Karate, Classical Dance, Classical Music, Physical Fitness, Coding, and Abacus. Students can choose according to their interests and cultivate a lifelong skill. All classes are taught by external faculty who are experienced experts in their fields.
6. Reasoning Ability
The key 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 dedicated area of study with its own Olympiad-approved books and assessments.
7. Gifted Learners Program
Advanced topics in finance and entrepreneurship can be challenging for most students. To bridge this gap, a select group is chosen for the Genius Batch, where they study advanced concepts in finance and business management.
8. Rooted in Culture
Every class starts with a short Brahmari exercise to help students achieve 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 influence future success more than academics. Through the “Ready for Life” program, students develop entrepreneurship, leadership, communication, empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving in a structured way, preparing them for real-world challenges.
10. Digital Literacy and AI Learning
Through the “AI for You” program and coding lessons starting as early as Class 3, students at Basavaraddi Schools are equipped with end-to-end technological education, including hands-on computer labs. This ensures they stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly tech-driven world.
11. Foundational Learning Support
Not all students grasp at the same pace, and some need personalized assistance. Remedial classes provide dedicated periods for individualized attention, ensuring every child reaches basic proficiency — fluency in English and Hindi, and mastery of the four fundamental operations in mathematics.
12. Principles of Education for Life
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. Preserving and strengthening a child’s confidence is our core aim.
Our Ever-Evolving Goal
Our endeavor is to continually copyright residential school in dharwad 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 always growing. The aim is to remain meaningful, impactful, and influential for every student. For now, we are delighted to have built a school that children truly enjoy attending. Here’s to education that lasts a lifetime.
