Our VisionAbout Brigade Group"There are two lasting bequests we can give our children:One is roots. The other is wings." —Hodding Carter, Jr.We believe that:Each child is a unique individual who possessesinherent potential of different types. Our objectiveis to identify, tap and develop this potential. To doso, we have to ensure that the child not only learnswell, but also learns happily and, in the process,develops into a confident, complete person. Ourphilosophy is realised through the personalattention we extend to each child and ourencouragement of open lines of communicationbetween students and faculty.Our students should have firm roots in our land,our culture, our language and our ethos. At thesame time, we want our students to develop aworld-view and become universal citizens who areaware of, and at ease with, other cultures,religions, viewpoints and lifestyles.Education involves far more than the acquisition ofknowledge. The real achievement of education isteaching students to enjoy the process of learningand to apply all that they learn to real lifesituations.Established in 1986, Brigade Group is a nameinstantly identified with Bangalore: the city inwhich it is headquartered and with which it sharesits past and future.Brigade Group has over 70 projects to its credit, inboth Bangalore and Mysore.
