You might have read innumerable parent reviews on Amrita International Vidyalayam Bangalore, and yet, it never seems to be enough because there’s so much to explore and commend it for. They just keep setting benchmarks for what an ideal school should possess and deliver. Amrita International Vidyalayam Bangalore, the fact being generally known that it ranks high in the list of best schools in Huskur; has earned a name and reputation for itself by striking perfect harmony between academic and extracurricular services that it offers to its students.
It is the first International school founded and run with the blessings of Holiness Satguru Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. At Amrita International Vidyalayam, the aim that every being associated with it aspires to, is working to build core values and life skills in the students –a genuine attitude towards imparting tangible learning. The credibility and trust that parents put in it, is rooted in the fact that it is a part of the esteemed national network of about 65 value based schools spread across India as an initiative of Mata Amritanandamayi Math.
Moving on to the essential segment of this blog-post, let me describe to you the annual event, ‘Sanskriti Yatra’ in such a manner that you feel it all being played before your eyes and get accustomed to the genius that Amrita International Vidyalayam practices.
The event started off with Ganesha Vandana and Dhyana Shloka being chanted by a choir of the little ones. There were many eminent personalities present as guests that are associated with the school. Shri Amritageetananda Puri, a dedicated disciple of the revered Mata Amritanandamayi, was there as the chief guest to pay his respects to Amma and commence the event. Flowers were offered to Amma by him and more of the guests such as Aradhana Amrita Chaitanya Swami Amma, the principal Ms. Ipsa Mohanty and the faculty coordinators.
The faculty offered him a sapling as a token of the event. In his address he shared spiritual values, perception and interactions with Amma. Even in the absence of Amma, he made sure that her philosophy and motivation that each of us possess a divine power, teachings of the Vedas, do not fail to reach the students—the Guru Mantra to succeed.
The event being held on such a huge scale, demanded an eloquent anchor to hold the audiences’ interest and guide them through the events. For that matter, not only did Ms. Sonia of the faculty, did a commendable job; students too, got the opportunity to take the centre stage on the mic, to anchor parts of the event, and to deliver their speeches and share their admiration for their Amma with the community.
The annual report as part of what the annual event offered consisted of AIV’s enterprises throughout the academic year. Student achievements in esteemed contests such as South India Open Karate Championship, International Karate Competition, Double Pass Development League of Football, Drawing Contests, in Music, Dance, Taekwondo and more– were displayed. Students’ academic achievements in external examinations and competitions spread across the likes of IEO, NCO, ISSO, NSO, Spell Bee, Olympiad IGKO were also showcased. Moreover, Inter House Sports competition winners list was also shared with the audiences.
Top performers in Inter School Chess Championship, National Level Skating Championship, CISCE National Level Athletic events got to share their triumphs with the Amrita family.
Isn’t it enticing that the students here are provided with such opportunities that they attain such heights of success?
AIV remains consistent with its parent-teacher-student community interaction and transparency events that is corroborated by the PYP Parent Orientation, ICSE Parent Orientation, Montessori Orientation, MYP Orientation, Parent Orientation Assessment in MYP, Culminations in PYP, and more that the audiences were made aware of at the annual event.
Making a mark as a socially aware and responsible educational institute AIV shared how it celebrates Onam, International Yoga Day, Teachers’ Day, Independence Day, Compassion Week, organises Investiture Ceremony, arranges Donation and Plantation Drives, Healthcare Camp, its own tradition of Sanskriti Pooja on ‘Amma’s’ birthday and so much more.
The report also enlisted the field trips and guest sessions, professional development workshop for teachers and parent-connect events conducted throughout the year.
The school shared the delightful achievement with the entire community that it was awarded the Most Emerging International School in Bangalore in Global Business and Education Award 2023 and didn’t hesitate in crediting the AIV family for the same.
The cultural event was the highlight of the annual program where as you can see, the students performed dressed up in hues of creativity, culture and history. The set up for the same, from the grand stage to the lighting management, was remarkable. Students got to deliver speeches, sharing their views on the culture and environment and the diversity they are taught and that they experience at Amrita International Vidyalayam Bangalore. Poojya Amritageetananda Swami ji, mentioned in his address to the audiences that the performances were most awaited and later on, the kids delivered it perfectly.
Amrita International Vidyalayam Bangalore Annual Day celebration served as a great opportunity for the brand new Swimming Pool Inauguration where Shri Amritageetananda Puri felicitated the construction team. This is going to open doors for students to excel in the sport with better facilities at their avail.
Lastly, this is the group photograph that was clicked as a memo of the magnificent function so that it remains etched in the memories of everybody that partook.
Annual Day is integral to any school as it is the opportunity to put on display the school’s history, foundational values, all that it offers and all that it aspires. There were so many pictures and content that I might have missed out on some, purely due to the fact that the ceremony was embellished with so many events and personas that it was indescribable in such few words, but Yellow Slate never fails to bring the indispensable to you and all that finds a mention here, qualified as the same. A school that doesn’t hesitate in keeping the transparency that Amrita International Vidyalayam has set out for through such a mesmerising display, cannot be kept off from shaping a legacy for itself— exactly what AIV has achieved throughout the years since its inception. There is a reason why when you search for schools near me and at the very top you find it amongst the best schools in Bangalore. I hope to have been helpful in giving you an idea of what the annual day celebration that leaves a lasting impression on whoever wishes to check out the school, looks like here at Amrita International Vidyalayam.
