North Bangalore Campus

A cozy school home where our young ones love to grow and learn

Our campus in north Bangalore is located near the Kalkere lake system. It exists in a peaceful neighborhood. The North Bangalore campus houses the early childhood and primary school programs of Creative School. The environment is like a home – a large family. Children have a sense of home at school. Students engage in their work in both indoor and outdoor classrooms to balance their energies with the five elements – air, water, fire, earth and space.

Sustainability 

Our emphasis on personal peace and wellbeing extends to our environment. Our school has been constructed completely in harmony with nature – with mud-block construction and natural materials to the extent possible. Solar energy supports the electrical needs on campus. We have composting and recycling facilities in the school itself. Our school generates minimum garbage and we regularly work with students and the staff to come up with easy and sustainable ways to live in nature.

We also have a beautiful garden, a bountiful vegetable garden and many unique medicinal plants, which helps us run our dining services with gratitude and joy. Our food program consists of healthy vegetarian food made with organic whole grains and vegetables bought almost directly from farmer friends, grown in our vegetable garden and through the sustainable activities in our  campus at Freedom land.
