How You Can Help
Sponsor a Gurukulum Student:
Gurukulum students are bright, talented, and focused children who are also economically backward. Their achievement-oriented ambitions are often clouded by their inability to afford a proper education that can help them reach their highest potential. These students often do not get the best value from a typical classroom environment because they are always ahead of their peers, and hence they require an even more challenging environment to thrive. Bharatiyam undertakes a rigorous assessment process consisting of competitive tests, sustained academic performance review at school, and an interview for students between 8th to 12th grades to check if Gurukulum is right for them. If the student and family accept the nomination to attend the accelerated residential school program, Bharatiyam invests in providing state of the art facilities, highly adept teachers, and other resources necessary for the student to excel.
