We went for admissions last year and would you believe that the lady in charge of admissions and non-stop chewing ghutka as she spoke. It was disgusting.

Hi,
We are moving to bangalore and going to stay near sarjapur, I’m looking for 4th grade and kinder schools. Can anyone shed some light on the schools in the area I heard of
Inventure
Greenwood
Primus
not interested in “TISB” and “INDUS” I don’t think it’s worth 5L per kid..
[Reply]
hi, we are planning to move to Bangalore very soon, Am looking for good schools around Sarjapur /Whitefield area. Any suggestions please? My child will be in class 2, so will admissions be a problem?

Hi Pooja,
Thank you for your feedback. I am in the middle of exploring schools which are transparent in operations and involve parents as much as they would want to.
I have heard quite a few things about Inventure Academy and that Education World rates them among the Top 10 schools of Bangalore and South India.
I beleive visiting Inventure is worth a visit.
[Reply]
I as a parent of child studying at Inventure Academy in Grade 5 am very satisfied with the school as the atmosphere is very open and welcoming for students to develop interest in learning and show excellence.
[Reply]
I am very happy with Inventure Academy. Everyone from the CEO to the Principal. Ms Mallika Sen, former principal of Valley school, teachers and administration and the support staff strongly believe in keeping the child at the centre and nurturing their individuality.
The campus is beautiful and fully utilised by students unlike many schools closeby which take huge money and do not deliver their promises.
For me the best supporting feature is a qualified nurse and a doctor on call to look after impromptu health issues of childrenon campus, expecially for working parents, who cannot walk out from work at their convenience.
It worth being an Inventurer!

Both my kids attend Inventure Academy, the older (boy) is in Grade 3 and the younger (girl) in KG2. I am very satisfied with the school. What I like most is the idea of regular updates sent to parents via email and the school website, I see close engagement by teachers, particularly in the higher grades and encouragement of students by building on their strengths.
Challenges and opportunities in today’s world are vastly different from those during our own school days. Schooling therefore has to respond to these changes. I believe Inventure is a sincere initiative and one that will produce positive results in.
If you are looking for a school with a orientation heavily skewed towards academics almost to the total exclusion of extra-curricular activities, then look elsewhere. If you want your children to have a healty mix of the best from Indian and Western educational systems, Inveenture would be a good choice.
If there is a negative, it is the high fees however as long as I can afford that, I plan for my kids to continue at Inventure.

Hi DM
The very fact that we as parents think so keenly about the future of our children visiting Inventure Academy is worth the time.
I did visit them yesterday and they spend around 45 minutes with us on understanding OUR needs from a school, which I think was a very refreshing approach.
so much of research about the school our child

hi,
MY daughter is studing in India International School and we are
very happy with her all round develop mentt.
[Reply]
I am looking out for admission for my son presenly studing at a school in J.P.Nagar…he is a slow learner and we would appreciate if somebody can advice us on their experience in having their child in an inclusive school with more of handson method of education and less stress on the child ,so that we can focuss on his strengths.
[Reply]
Hmm..All the concerns are justified. Both my children study at Inventure Academy and so far I have found it more than satisfactory. The teachers are helpful and available to students. There are medical good facilities, I remember my daughter was attended to by a qualified nurse when she fell down and injured herself while playing.
The requirements of education have changed today as compared to when we studied. The challenges faced today are much different than what we faced years back, so I think Inventure does provide the education for sustainability and success in this environment. Be it a ‘regular’ or an ‘international’ school, they have their pros and cons. I am happy with the ‘all round’ development that Inventure provides.

We visited Gear. The security didn’t allow us to see the school or meet someone in charge of admission. We were supposed to fill the application form and handover without even talking to someone there! Different rules?. So my first impression was bad. Not sure about the academics.
Thanks

I agree most of the school fees are too high to be justified.
I would suggest a ‘regular school’ and for other extra curricular activities you could use your apartment/villas amenities..came across sports coach academy (www.sportscoach.in) who depute coaches at locations with relevant amenities.
I have personally heard good feedback on Gear (Sarjapur Rd) and Bethany school (Koramangala)

You heard Good things about Gear?
You mean that school own and run by Muthuswamy Srinivasan aka M. Srinivasan?
Ah! Can you read the reviews in the same site?
[Reply]
Thanks for the feedback Maggie.
I still dont understand the motivation for charging such fees.
Is it because there are people who will pay the fees blindly without asking even a single question? Is it just a hype about such “internationally benchmarked” schools? Are we taking high risk sending kids to such chaotic environment?. Our good old schools didn’t have horse riding, swimming pool, A/C class rooms etc. But the academic foundation was very good and it was not compromised for anything else.
I will have to rethink now about Inventure, Greenwood etc.
Thanks
Anjali

My daughter attended Inventure for two years and in the end I was disappointed. I believe they say all the right things but they did not deliver on their promises. We were told about individual attention and personal lesson plans, etc. We saw none of that. What was really disappointing was the lack of supervision of children that I witnessed over and over again. They have a good philosophy but they had gone a little too far with no discipline and as a result it always seemed very chaotic. My daughter asked to go to a different school. She is now at Primus Public School and we are all very happy with it. (BTW – it is much, much cheaper than Inventure.)

Well I am not sure.. Primus, i believe doesnt have its ISC affiliation still advertising about it to get admissions. As an informed parent do check ith the school on this
Being cheap may not always mean offering te best solution or being transparent with the future of the child.
[Reply]
Inventure unlike other schools does not make fake promises. The CEO is a very down to earth person. Teachers go out of their way to help children. Unlike TISB and Indus which are just interested in squeezing money. Fees at Inventure Academy are very reasonable compared to other IGCSE schools. Infrastructure is also pretty good.Best is they give equal importance to sports and studies. Your child wont be bogged down with homework andbooks. I am happy as a parent.
[Reply]
I am also looking for feedback on Inventure.
Which is good Inventure or Greenwood high?
These are the two schools nearby
Thanks
Anjali.
[Reply]
My son went to Vibgyor last year – but I am not very happy with the school and I am considering Inventure. Could anyone give me more details on Inventure and if it delivers on the promises it makes.
[Reply]
Hi,
What is the age reqirement for admission in Inventure?
Do they have any pre school also?
I am just trying to understand the the reason for high fees charged. Is it worth paying nearly a laksh for Kindergarten onwards? My concern is how a child in Inventure will be different from any other kid from some other ICSE school which is having moderate fee structure.
Thanks
[Reply]
Hi,
I would appreciate if someone could provide a comparison between VIBGYOR HIGH with INVENTURE INTERNATIONAL and give me some feed back asap.
[Reply]
We have relocated from UK and I liked the pre-primary section for the relaxed atmosphere which I think will help my 4 yr old son to settle down in the school environment here.
Having read the post about non-availability of teachers, I am a little concerned. Fingers crossed!!
I would also like to know if all that is promised about extra curricular activities is actually practised.
Thanks

Hi Shikha,
This is kind of an old post. But I wonder if you put your child at Inventure
I have the same question to you, did they deliver on their promise of extra curricular activities. Do any teacher issues still persist at school
Thanks,
Kiran
[Reply]
Why don’t you try DPS East On Sarjapur road. Its a good school and I am very happy parent. they deliver what they promise in this school .

if not inventure then which is a good icse school in sarjapur orr whitefield area
which school have you shifted your child to

[Reply]
Inventure doesnt promise what they say, My child was there for a year and she didnt have teachers in her class. They promised Music and dance but the teachers for that didnt show up. Lot of teacher issues and also they dont have a qualified Medical support in school like a doctor oe nurse who is qualified.
Overall was not happy with school.
[Reply]
We evaluated Inventure as part of looking for schools in Sarjapur Area. We liked everything about it but felt that it might be a little too relaxed of an atmosphere.
