Inventure Academy Bangalore

India has a demographic dividend of over 550 million people under the age of 26 and, according to a United Nations report, it will have the largest working population in the world by 2030. Central to India fulfilling its promise of being one of the three largest economies in the world by 2050, is the need for it to nurture, develop and guide its current and future people power.

With accelerated growth in the knowledge sector, education is a thriving market in India and is pegged at Rs150000 crore (US $37 billion). This has given opportunities to new players such as Inventure Academy.

The school is distinguished by its attitude and values towards learning, and its commitment to providing quality education. Aspiring to be among the best progressive schools in India, it wants to be measured by its students who excel not just in academics but in at least one chosen co-curricular activity.

The Academy's core promise is 'to instill in students the ability and conviction to realise their full potential and excel anywhere in the world'. It encourages inventive thinking, multiple intelligences and differentiated learning. It recognises the challenges of an inter-dependent and competitive world, and the need for children to adapt and excel in it.

Such corporate speak is distilled in a far simpler way for the students. The children have marked the walls with their stamp of ownership through bright murals that adorn corridors and lobbies. Classroom spaces are defined by the children's imagination: each class has a personality that is a reflection of its teachers and students. The facilities include two amphitheatres, a performing arts room, a fine arts studio, a dining hall, a health clinic, a cosy library and a learning lab.

Inventure Academy believes strongly in fitness and challenge, both mental and physical. A graded obstacle course loops around the building perimeter. The grounds are equipped with tennis and basketball courts, cricket pitch, football and hockey ground.

This progressive, learner focused school fosters inventive thinking, multiple intelligences and differentiated learning to prepare students for life and instill individuality in each child.
