LIFE AT BRIHASPATI VIDYASADAN 

Overview: At BVS, we offer a variety of activities that allow our high school students to develop particular talents, share common interests, and gain wider experiences. We value our students’ cheerfulness as much as their academic success and behavior. Beyond excellent academics, students are encouraged to think independently where every individual is valued and members of the community treat each other with respect. We offer a host of programs, events, and activities to help students achieve this.

This enables all students to enjoy themselves across a wide range of sports and creative arts while making use of the school’s impressive facilities.

Our extensive co-curricular programs also aim to provide exciting activities that will stimulate an interest in school life as well as activities to explore their potential other than academics.

Clubs at our school have been designed to help students develop their social skills where they fine-tune their interactions with peers and with faculty members. This is also an excellent space to hone students’ leadership skills as they take most of the initiative for the functioning of the clubs. Club activities allow students to discover and further their interests and talents in many ways. Some of the major clubs in our high school include Speakers Club, Event Management Club, Sports Club, and Arts-based Clubs.

Cafeteria and Dining: Our Plus Two facilities include a separate food court for students. The food court offers a variety of healthy meals throughout the school day and has become a hub where students and teachers come to socialize, spend leisure time with friends, work on group projects, or plan both academic and extra-curricular events.

Sanitation and hygiene are taken very seriously by the staff at the food court. Tables and dishes are cleaned after each service.

CAREER GUIDANCE
The world is full of opportunities and students are often unaware of the possibilities that lie ahead of them. There are a plethora of professions one can take up. It is here that counseling and career guidance becomes very important. Our high school counselor helps them make the right choices and identify where their aptitudes and interests lie. Students of Plus Two take a psychometric test and are then guided on the basis of the results obtained to make an informed decision about their choice of subjects/career.

Message from the Principal

Kumar Thapa

Dear Prospective students and parents,

Our school has the mission that we explore the potential of individual students and promote excellence in every walk of life. With its history of well over thirty five years and ground-breaking strategies into the future, BVS represents excellence in all aspects of its operation.

When I assessed the situation of BVS after joining in 2075, I found that the school has a great history and tradition. One need would be to bring in some life and variety to school activities while integrating various subjects and making them relevant to life so that students have greater exposure, more fun and a higher level of understanding. To me, character education was another focus to work on by establishing a more positive and stronger triangular bond between parents, students and teachers.

What we have achieved so far and what we plan ahead complement the fact that your experience at BVS will be highly rewarding, full of meaningful enagagement and most certainly life-changing.

Besides, we are a school that believes in the best blend of progressive education pedagogies and traditional teaching methods. To understand this model of education and how we are doing it, I invite our existing and prospective parents to feel free to visit us to explore more about it.

In all our endeavours, our students remain at the center of everything we do in order to enable them to achieve the best future they deserve.

I appreciate our internal team and parents equally for believing in and supporting for this mission. It is exciting to witness growing community at BVS while ensuring that the BVS team is committed to realizing its mission.

Kumar Thapa
