Bhaktivedanta International school (BGIS) located in the beautiful holy land of Sri Vrindavan dham, the abode of Lord Krishna, offers the best of both worlds - the traditional and the modern, the vedic and the contemporary, the spiritual and the temporal. Teaching includes aesthetics in art, literature and science with emphasis on practical training methodologies. Because of international-mix of teachers, students are privileged to study in a framework that is an interesting blend of both east and west – getting best of both. In BGIS, the emphasis is not on rote learning, but on understanding of the core concepts underlying subjects such as science, computing, language, mathematics, social and environmental studies through hands-on field learning, laboratory experiments and various social and cultural interactions.
