The Best School in Dharwad
This post highlights a decade of dedicated efforts and programs to deliver the best schooling experience possible — and here’s everything we’ve achieved so far.
To grasp what I mean by “Education for Life” and how this vision came to life, do check out my earlier post. In essence, the goal is straightforward yet meaningful: to deliver every child a truly holistic education — one that nurtures academic, technological, cultural, social, physical, and emotional growth.
Today, the Basavaraddi legacy successfully operates 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. Dedicated and Skilled Teachers
Our greatest strength 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. Meet our teachers ?
2. Commitment to Academic Success
We believe academics must spark curiosity, not just meet syllabus requirements. For Grades 1–5, we extend beyond the basics of state textbooks and use Crystal Books by Pearson. The results has been powerful — many of our students successfully pass the Navodaya entrance exam without coaching. Learning is further enriched through our specialized labs and experiential learning. For Grades 6–10, we follow NCERT Books for Science and Math, ensuring deep understanding and national-level standards.
3. Strong Focus on Sports
At Basavaraddi, sports are not an extra — they’re a core discipline. 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. Extracurricular Excellence
Every year, dozens of our students 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 compete in weekly CCA competitions, starting with house-level rounds and progressing to the school-level finals. This organized system encourages positive rivalry, teamwork, and continuous growth in talent.
5. Extracurricular Hobby Programs
Basavaraddi Schools offer six hobby classes: Karate, Classical Dance, Classical Music, Physical Fitness, Coding, and Abacus. Students can choose according to their interests and best schools in dharwad develop a true passion. All classes are taught by external faculty who are accomplished experts in their fields.
6. Reasoning Ability
The key for excelling in future tests is strong aptitude. At Basavaraddi, students are systematically prepared 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. Genius Batch
Advanced topics in finance and entrepreneurship can be challenging for most students. To address this, a select group is chosen for the Genius Batch, where they delve into advanced concepts in finance and business management.
8. Tradition and Mindfulness
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 remains connected to culture and tradition.
9. Life Skills
Life skills often indicate 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, 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 practical computer labs. This ensures they remain future-ready in an increasingly tech-driven world.
11. Foundational Learning Support
Not all students learn at the same pace, and some need extra support. Remedial classes provide dedicated periods for focused attention, ensuring every child reaches 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 detailed in my previous post. In short, our goal is to foster an environment where every student enjoys coming to school and cherishes their time here. Preserving and strengthening a child’s confidence is our topmost mission.
Ongoing Mission
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 a continuous journey. The aim is to remain meaningful, impactful, and inspiring for every student. For now, we are thrilled to have built a school that children genuinely love coming to. Celebrating the joy of learning and growth.
