Gurukula Residential School · Sagar, Shivamogga
For more than two decades we have given children of Shivamogga district an education that develops the mind and the character together.
This institution was founded on the lives and principles of great teachers, to deliver education within the Gurukula system. Our willingness is to make students humble, generous, bold and civic-minded. The management has always worked to maintain an excellent academic standard, and our schools have earned a strong reputation for academics, co-curricular activities and sport alike.
Our staff prepare young minds to blossom, acquiring knowledge through the play-way method and developing the skills and values needed to make meaningful choices. The main thrust is the growth of every child into a complete personality, both physically and mentally. As a team we share one goal: the full flowering of the child.

To be a wellspring of collaborative learning, adopting information technology through individual and collective activity, so that the rich heritage of our culture is secure in the hands of the new generation.
To inculcate values, promote harmony and a spirit of unity, and strive for wellness in society through the practice of yoga and healthy dietary habits — in full transparency, with all stakeholders involved, in keeping with our motto: service before self.

Our Story
In the traditional Gurukula, students live with their teachers rather than merely attending their classes. Learning is not confined to a timetable — it extends into how a child eats, sleeps, speaks, plays and treats others. We have kept that structure and combined it with a modern scientific syllabus, laboratories, smart classrooms and competitive-examination coaching. The result is a residential school where academic results and personal character are built by the same daily discipline.
Seek, shine, set forth — never to stop and never to yield. — Swami Vivekananda
Sri Ramakrishna Gurukula
Education is about ushering in transformation and change — change in oneself, in society, in the environment, and change for the better. The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. It is our responsibility to give children the atmosphere not only to dream, but to make those dreams come true through action.
Opportunities bring out the real mettle in us: character, grit, determination, and the willingness to accept challenges as they come. One cannot wait — one must seize opportunities when they arrive unexpectedly. This school has a clear vision of giving quality education to every child who steps in, and preparing them for a competitive world.
It is the involvement of parents that inspires all our achievements, and we thank them for their patronage. We are also grateful to the educational authorities, to prominent citizens and to the people of the locality for their timely help and guidance. We seek the co-operation of one and all to serve better still, and every piece of feedback is taken seriously.
