The education sector in India is estimated to achieve a net worth of $225 billion by the end of the Financial Year 2025, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). There has been an increased enrollment in primary education nationwide with the emergence of numerous schools that offer world-class education.

As far as standard education curriculums go, the Indian Certificate for Secondary Examination (ICSE) has gained recognition in the country with more than 2500 schools affiliated with it. This number is poised to grow in the coming years with more schools recognizing the balanced educational approach of ICSE that gives equal importance to language, arts, and science subjects.

With time, the cost of education has also increased in cities like Bangalore where people belonging to the middle and upper middle class are facing financial constraints.

Secondly, amidst such a fast-moving age, many institutions cannot impart values about culture, spirituality, and ethics to young and growing minds. There is a massive requirement for institutions that uphold the learning about morality and culture along with world class education infrastructures.

Pratham International School from Bangalore is a one-of-a-kind institution affiliated with the ICSE board that gives importance to lessons about culture and has made it a tradition to chant the Bhagavad Gita after the morning assembly everyday, followed by meditation and yoga. The unique combination of textbook education and cultural studies makes this institution stand out in the education sector.

The school provides world-class facilities that include smart boards in every classroom, internet connectivity, a swimming pool, multiple playgrounds along timely transport for students. “Being an ISO-certified institution, we follow all the guidelines that have been stated by the concerned authorities. Our school has also received several awards and recognitions for being one of the promising schools in the region”, mentions S J Hiremath, Chairman, Pratham International School.

Focus on Holistic Learning
For KG, Pratham International School follows a disciplined Montessori program and gives equal importance to extra-curricular activities for the overall development of children. From classes 1-5, the school follows the XSEED education format and offers smart school solutions to all the concerned students. A strict ICSE curriculum is followed for classes 6-10 as Pratham International School believes that students get the correct exposure to education. To support textbook learning, it has established dedicated labs for science and arts subjects. There are physics, chemistry, biology, and computer labs with advanced facilities available for students in the school.

Students are motivated to follow their passion and the school has systems in place to monitor the growth of each child individually

The school deeply focuses on sports activities and has dedicated trainers for all the sports it has facilities for. There are art and dance classrooms with specialized trainers to support and motivate students with their passion. Facilities for Cricket, Football, Volleyball, Throw ball, Karate, and others are present inside the campus. “We provide opportunities for social interaction of students by providing club facilities that include Kannada, English, Hindi, and others”, states S J Hiremath.

Future Projections
Since its inception in 2010, Pratham International School has gained significant trust and recognition in the education sector for providing world-class education at the touch of affordability. It wants to carry on with the good work and emerge as one of the trusted educational institutions in the region. “Indeed, we are currently using advanced technologies to impart education among students but the world of technology is constantly evolving. We plan on updating our technology capabilities and improving our system altogether in the years to come”, concludes S J Hiremath.
