About Us

The goal of Vedike Global School is to be a 'platform for change' ('Vedike' means 'platform' in Kannada, the state language) and to encourage students to 'think global, act local'. 

We believe that each child is important and has individual potential. We aim to help our students reach their potential through providing affordable, student-centred, quality education, with both local and global perspectives.

Vedike Global School is situated not far from Doddaballapur in rural Bangalore and is open to all children from the surrounding village communities. We aim to target underprivileged children, such as those from families of a low socio-economic status, and children from traditionally disadvantaged groups. Our goal is to make quality education available to these children.

Vedike Global School takes a student-centred approach to education. We aim to cater for students’ different learning styles and interests. We aim to set and work towards specific learning goals for all students. We will provide support for struggling students and those with additional needs, and aim to extend high-performing students. As a priority, we will seek to foster positive teacher-student relationships and an encouraging classroom climate.

We believe in the importance of providing quality education. At Vedike Global School we aim to foster deep understanding and higher-order thinking, rather than merely focusing on the memorisation of facts. Our goal is to provide engaging lessons, with students taking part as active learners. We will focus on skills that are important in the 21st century workplace, such as collaboration and creativity, as well as providing thorough preparation for board exams (once our school expands beyond Standards/Grade 8). 

At Vedike Global School we aim to highlight the importance of local knowledge, such as knowledge about the natural environment and resourcefulness. We also include global perspectives in our school, through teaching students about different countries and global issues, encouraging students to see themselves as global citizens and providing interactions with people from many different countries through VEDIKE's Global Citizens Programs. 

Vedike Global School is an English-medium school. However, we believe in the importance of local languages and have dedicated Kannada teachers. We promote Kannada, not just as a subject, but also in our day-to-day and extra-curricular activities. However, we recognise that English has become the global language and that, as a result, students will have more opportunities in later life if they are confident in English. As a result, we also have fluent English teachers and provide students with the opportunity to practice and use English inside and outside the classroom.

At Vedike Global School we will take a holistic approach to education and concern ourselves not only with our students’ academic progress, but also with their social, emotional, physical and creative development. We aim to help students connect to the VEDIKE community, the natural environment and foster humanitarian values, such as compassion and peace.
