Children are like wet cement whatever falls on them makes a life long impression. Gyan Bharati School provides better learning environment and helps the child to cope up with this challenging world. School follows basic principle of learning - “Learning by doing”, as it is always said- I hear I forget, I see I remember, I do I learn.

Rote learning is always avoided in this school. Their approach on understanding and application aspect of learning is very effective. Curriculum of Gyan Bharati School is output of long tested research of faculty, in guidance of eminent educationist Mr. R. C. Shekhar.

Children are encouraged to correlate their learning with the outer world. Teachers always motivate each and every child to participate in different activities.

Our daughter Yajika Dagar is always enthusiastic in doing new and interesting activities and tries to keep on adding her own ideas. She makes her own riddles, stories and poems. We are very happy that she is able to read both Hindi and English, through innovative and interesting efforts of her teacher. She likes activities suggested by teacher and enjoys while doing them. She likes reading, drawing, colouring, singing, dancing and playing with clay. School is providing her ample opportunities to do these activities. This in turn has increased the level of confidence in her.

We thank, Gyan Bharati School for providing such a beautiful experience to us.
