The school also helps the child to develop his innate abilities and skills in understanding, evaluating and applying the knowledge imparted to him and to enhance the glorious cultural tradition to which he belongs.
- According to Bhavan’s educational philosophy, “The ideal education should impart knowledge, shape character and mould the personality of the child”,
