Not a lot of schools focus as much on inculcating values amongst kids as they do on academics. Based on the principles of Bhagwat Gita, the foundation of New Horizon Gurukul was kept in 2010. The school is located in the eastern suburb of Bangalore city, Marathali. Gurukul follows Indian academic systems, and is centred on the idea of the holistic development of children.
Counted amongst some of the best CBSE schools in Karnataka, NHG follows an interesting model of imparting knowledge on cultural heritage with modern methods of teaching and learning. Focused on imbibing strong human values, the school tries to build a solid foundation of good character in students. The school is built on the principle of a ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’. Except for teaching fundamental curriculum, the school focuses on imparting life skills in students like building relationships, emotion management, enforcement of positive behaviour, etc to deal with everyday situations.
The teachers, or moresoever, the gurus maintain a close bond with their shishyas to be their mentor and friend. They maintain a close relationship with the parents and the parents can even receive regular updates about their children and their progress through an online portal.
The school also organises multiple seminars and workshops each year to upskill the teachers such that with changing times, their teaching methodology also improves. NHG has also started an initiative – QASDC, in order to develop assessment tools to understand the potentials of teaching and non-teaching members and to organise relevant skill development programs.
The faculty participates in multiple competitions and receives recognition and awards more often. You can read about some of the achievements here: https://newhorizongurukul.in/faculty/.
Apart from the regular scholastic course, the school focuses on some CO-SCHOLASTIC SUBJECTS like Music, Dance, Yoga, Art, Physical Education to develop the personality of children in an inspirational environment.
The annual fees is approximately 80,000 however, the same varies depending on the class structure. For more details, contact: principal@newhorizongurukul.in or 080-48147031.
The campus is connected by five majestic school buildings, surrounded by gardens and playgrounds.

Children can also take GPS enabled air conditioned buses travelling to and fro school. All school buses are monitored by a CCTV camera to ensure total safety of your children. The school also organises counselling and special education support for those who require it.
Home to approximately 6000 students, NHG hosts three sections:
Primary Class (1st to 4th Standard)
Junior Secondary (5th to 8th Standard)
Senior Secondary (9th to 12th Standard)
The average student to teacher ratio at any section is 25:1 so that attention and focus can be paid to each student.
The school always believes in exposing students to different experiences to enhance the quality of their knowledge and to gain perspective in life. Events like inter school competition, inter house activities, science fair like Gyan Mela, social events like Uphaar (the children put up stalls and the proceedings go to charity), after school activities like Dance, Music, sports, Karate, astronomy challenge, etc, give students chance to participate and work on their all round development.
Other activities include: annual day, sports meet, Annual Homa (where students are taught to perform rituals and pujas), annual trip. The school also has an annual magazine, ‘Gurukul Times’ where students can submit their entries thus invoking creativity and critical thinking amongst students.
Every year, the New Horizon Gurukul along with New Horizon Public school co-hosts a 10 day inter state school sports match event- New Horizon Cup to bring out the sportsmanship spirit of the students.
NHG gives great importance to developing other creative skills such as origami, craft, music and dance. These enhance the creativity and further boosts the self confidence of the students so that they can come out to be achievers.
