Set amidst lush green hills, in the outskirts of Guwahati city, lies Sanskriti the Gurukul. The first day boarding school, a one of its kind in North East India, Sanskriti the Gurukul strives to bring up its students as outstanding global citizens.
Sanskriti the Gurukul prepares students for life – to excel wherever they go and in whatever they do. The diverse backgrounds of students and the secular atmosphere help students to learn from one another and adapt the best from every culture.
As a day boarding school, the students gain exposure to the various spheres of education under one roof. Apart from a strong base in academics, students have the opportunity to learn music, dance, art, culture, sports and other extra-curricular activities in the school. The school curriculum endeavours to explore the endless possibilities hidden in every child.
Our Vision
[edit]“At Sanskriti The Gurukul, we build the children of tomorrow and help them become productive citizens. Each STGian is brought up to be a critical thinker and an independent learner.”” Ashutosh Aggarwal, Secretary
Creative Platform
[edit]At Sanskriti The Gurukul, we believe that art, culture and music are an important part of a child’s upbringing. Children need a platform to unleash their creativity, to understand and appreciate Indian and world culture and preserve it for years to come.
Our music department is set out at the much envied nook of the school, with a beautiful view of the hills and green pastures surrounding the school. The airy and bright rooms provide just the right ambience for the students to learn and make music. We have a group of very talented musicians who impart the students lessons on varied musical instruments such as the tabla, guitar, violin, keyboard and drums to name a few. Students are also trained in Indian classical vocal music.
Students are also provided the opportunity to learn diverse dance forms such as Indian classical dance, Indian and Western folk dances and other global dance forms.
We encourage students to hone their skills in art and craft as they stimulate their imagination. Our students pursue these with passion and are taught various forms of painting, sculpting, hand block printing, sewing and other forms of local handicrafts.
The bakery classes are immensely popular with the students. Our girls and boys take keen interest to make some gourmet delights such as cakes, muffins, tarts et al.
As a member of SPICMACAY, the school provides a platform to the studentds to interact, meet and watch live performances of celebrated artists like Sonal Mansingh, Vishwamohan Bhatt, Geeta Chandran and others, who have won high accolade in their fields.
