Curriculum

The school offers ICSE curriculum

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations conducts three examinations, namely, the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE –Class X); The Indian School Certificate (ISC - ClassXII) and the Certificate in Vocational Education (CVE - Year 12).

Our Curriculum ensures that it covers what is prescribed by the I.C.S.E. curriculum which is beyond textbooks.

We firmly believe that authentic education addresses the "whole child", "the whole person" without limiting curriculum design to work place readiness.

BVK - an Entrepreneurial School

Give a man a fish and he will eat far a day Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a life time.

To inspire young generation people to become socially and environmentally responsible entrepreneurs and to think about the problems that people in their local community face, and how they can help to solve these problems through business, we are a part of "School Enterprise Challenge," global business an initiative of "Teach a man to fish" - an International Education Charity, London. This challenge is a student-led, business start-up competition for schools around the world.

The most obvious part of the objectives of this project is to help our students become business leaders of the future. Moreover, young people learn by doing- getting practical business experience and developing skills like problem-solving, teamwork and the self-confidence to pursue their goals, get a job or create their own job.

As our global economy expands, our need to prepare this next generation for new careers becomes even more imperative. So, we hope that our school system responds better to a changing world. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "We cannot build the future for our youth—but we can build our youth for the future.  "It is our duty to do whatever we can to help our students connect learning with real life and to provide them with the necessary skills to prepare them for success.
