As the name implies, The
Home School is a school where love, kindness and respect for
children can be found in abundance. During childhood and youth, it
is school which makes a marked impression on young minds. The
Principal, teachers and staff of The Home School respect each child
as an individual and take great care in educating them and fostering
their talents. The Home School reached a major milestone this
year by completing 75 years of its existence.
The Past The Home School is amongst the oldest
schools in Bangalore, India. Ms. Robinson, a North American
missionary, felt Basavanagudi, a locality of Bangalore, and its
neighbouring areas required a good school. Her father, Bishop
Robinson, had started Baldwins High School, Bangalore. Ms. Robinson
had been the Principal there for some years. In 1930, Ms. Robinson
alongwith Ms. Donne, a British lady started The Home
School.
At
that time, the school had only Kindergarten with three or four
students and three teachers. Ms. Robinson and Ms. Donne strived to
provide education on par with international standards at a very
nominal fee. They paid individual attention to each and every
student. Within a year, the school had 150 students. A few
traditions that were started then are observed till today. These are
Christmas Tree, taking children on picnics, morning prayer, scouts
and guides and singing with the piano.
The Present
Today, The Home School
imparts education from Kindergarten to the seventh standard for boys
and girls. The school follows the Karnataka State syllabus with a
public examination in the seventh standard.
The
present Principal, Mr. R. Venkatachalam joined the school as a
student in 1942. Upon completing his education, he became the
Headmaster in 1961 and has been the Principal since 1989. Dedicated
to the ideals of Miss Robinson and Miss Donne, he aims to provide
excellent education that keeps pace with the changes happening in a
technologically advanced world. The Principal takes personal
interest in every aspect of the school. His prime concern is the
welfare of the children and them growing into successful individuals
with well grounded personalities.
