Top-Rated School in Dharwad

This post summarises a ten years of hard work and initiatives to build the most holistic educational environment possible — and here’s a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished.
To truly appreciate what I mean by “Education for Life” and how this concept was born, do read my earlier post. In essence, the purpose is simple yet profound: to provide 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
Basavaraddi Schools – The Pride of Dharwad
We take pride in offering a balanced education that blends knowledge, culture, and life skills — here’s how we do it.
1. Extraordinary Teachers
Our biggest asset is our teaching team — highly experienced, professionally certified, and deeply committed. Every teacher at Basavaraddi has been with us for a minimum of 2 years, with most having 10+ years of experience. Their commitment is what transforms our students. Get to know our educators ?
2. Academic Excellence
We believe academics must spark curiosity, not just check boxes. For Grades 1–5, we go beyond the basics of state textbooks and use Crystal Books by Pearson. The results has been powerful — many of our students clear the Navodaya entrance exam without coaching. Learning is further enhanced through our Math Lab, Science Lab, and Outbound Learning programs. 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 part of daily life. Our students consistently compete and excel at state and national levels. (This is where a picture says more than words!). Check out our sporting milestones?
4. Extracurricular Excellence
Every year, multiple students and teams from Basavaraddi Schools make it to 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 organized system encourages positive rivalry, teamwork, and continuous growth in talent.
5. Hobby Classes
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 develop a true passion. All classes are conducted by external faculty who are renowned experts in their fields.
6. Logical Aptitude Training
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 separate subject 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. Rooted in Culture
Every class begins with a short Brahmari exercise to help students enter 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, equipping them for life beyond school.
10. Technology Integration in Education
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. Individual Attention for Every Child
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 explained in my previous post. In short, our goal is to create an environment where every student looks forward to learning and values every moment of their journey. Protecting and nurturing a child’s confidence is our highest priority.
Our Ever-Evolving Goal
Our mission is to consistently achieve the feat of being the best school in Dharwad. While we are proud of the progress and results so far, we believe the mission to “Educate for Life” is always growing. The aim is to remain relevant, impactful, and inspiring for every student. For now, we are thrilled to have best school in dharwad built a school that children truly enjoy attending. Cheers to teaching and learning.
