Every family comes to Inventure with different priorities. Some are looking for academic rigour. Some want a school where sport or the arts are taken seriously. Some want their child to find their confidence. Some want all of it.

Our admissions team doesn’t give you a brochure and a fee structure. They sit down with you, ask what matters most, and help you understand whether Inventure is genuinely the right fit — for your child, at this stage of their life.

Write to us at admissions@inventureacademy.com to start your journey. 

The academic year runs from mid-May to mid-April, following a Balanced Year-Round Calendar.

The Balanced Year-Round Calendar spaces breaks thoughtfully across the year, giving students and faculty time to recharge, and families regular windows to reconnect and travel together.

  • 5 weeks (April–May)
  • 2 weeks (July–August)
  • 2 weeks after Term 1
  • 2 weeks (December–January)

Admissions begin in September and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to seat availability.

Application forms can be downloaded from our website and are also available at the school office for a nominal fee. You may also write to admissions@inventureacademy.com to receive the application form and complete the payment online.

We welcome applicants who align with our values and approach to education. Preference is given to siblings, children residing close to the school, and students who demonstrate an uncommon level of passion or excellence in a particular field.

Students applying for admission to Grade 6 and above are required to take placement tests in English, Mathematics, Science, and the second language. Admission is confirmed once all documentation is complete and the applicable fee has been paid.

We hire for purpose first.

The educators who thrive at Inventure are curious about how children learn, committed to their own growth, and genuinely care about the work of teaching. Alignment with our core values and culture of excellence is essential because at Inventure, the teacher is not just a subject expert but a mentor, a model, and a co-learner.

For senior school roles, experience with Cambridge International Education, CISCE, or comparable boards is important. But across all roles, we look for something harder to teach: intellectual seriousness, warmth, and a willingness to keep refining your craft, year after year.

Recruitment typically takes place between October and April in preparation for the academic year beginning in May. We may have identified openings during this period. Applications outside this window are welcome. Please submit your CV through the regular link, and we will reach out if there is a suitable opportunity. Click here to see our current openings on our Careers page.

Our recruitment process has six stages: resume screening, a technical interview, a teaching demo, and a series of conversations with the Principal/Head of School, the CEO, and the HR/Finance Head.

Although not mandatory, a B.Ed will be preferred. Teachers without a B.Ed are welcome to apply for positions in the primary and middle school.

During peak recruitment periods, we receive a high volume of applications and may not be able to respond individually to candidates whose profiles are not the right fit. Please reach out to recruitment@inventureacademy.com if you haven’t heard back in two weeks.

Students work in a well-equipped studio across mediums such as drawing, painting, clay, printmaking, photography, video, animation, and digital art, while also engaging with art history, Indian and global traditions, and contemporary practice. In the early years and primary school, art is part of the integrated curriculum. In Middle School, students can opt for the Art POD with more intensive mentoring and production work. In Senior School, Visual Arts is offered as an elective (Art & Design) at the ICSE and IGCSE levels, with several alumni going on to leading art and design institutions.

For over a decade, INMUN has brought learners together to discuss international challenges, formulate solutions, and represent diverse perspectives. Participants gain hands-on experience in diplomacy, research, critical thinking, and communication. Inventure students also participate in and win awards at national and global MUN events, reinforcing a real-world understanding of global issues.

The Youth Parliament encourages democratic engagement and public discourse by involving students in debates, role plays, and policy discussions. Inventure has extended this learning beyond its own campus through mentorship at government schools. This platform helps students develop leadership, critical thinking, and an understanding of civic responsibility while building confidence to voice opinions on issues that matter.

Community Outreach at Inventure reflects the school’s values of encouraging sensitivity and providing meaningful exposure to the real world. Learners from Kindergarten to Grade 12 engage in age-appropriate initiatives that build empathy, social awareness, and a sense of responsibility, from collection drives and community projects in the early years to structured social impact work in Middle and Senior School.

A core pillar of this work is Inventure’s long-term partnership with government schools. Students and teachers actively contribute to learning, skill-building, and school development at Government Higher Primary School (GHPS), Ramagondanahalli; Government Tamil Higher Primary School (GTHPS), Shivajinagar; Government Higher Primary School (GHPS), Kodathi; and Government Upgraded Model School (GUMS), Siddahosanahalli. Through educational projects, mentoring, content creation, and on-ground support, learners experience what it means to engage with society not as volunteers for a day, but as long-term partners in change.

At M.I.X., students work with tools, materials, and technologies to design, build, test, and refine their ideas. Projects range from simple constructions in the early years to more complex prototypes and engineered solutions in later grades. The focus is on learning by doing, iteration, and thinking through making, helping students develop confidence with tools, systems thinking, and the ability to approach open-ended problems with creativity and rigour.

Inventure’s sports culture encourages daily physical activity and competitive spirit across inter-house and inter-school meets. Athletic events strengthen teamwork, resilience, and respect for effort. Through participation in athletics, team games, and fitness challenges, students build confidence and lifelong habits of health and discipline.

CMC is not just a school event. It’s a multi-round, experience-driven challenge where learners ask hard questions, research deeply, build and test prototypes, and refine solutions that address pressing issues that matter to communities and the world. Participants receive expert mentorship and feedback at every stage, and the process deliberately includes the inevitable setbacks that shape resilient thinkers and actors. This is about turning curiosity into action and ideas into measurable impact in areas such as sustainability, equity, and inclusion. Each year’s theme focuses students on a real societal challenge — for example, the 2025-26 theme explores Life, Learning & Work in the Age of AI & Automation, asking learners to build solutions that put people at the center of progress.

The programme empowers students to approach challenges with creativity, empathy, and resilience. Through guided projects and mentorship, learners refine ideas, prototype solutions, and pitch concepts that address needs in their communities. This practice helps students grow as confident, innovative thinkers ready to navigate complexity and contribute beyond the classroom.

Annual Musical Production 

Every year, one section of the school conceptualises and executes a musical production based on an issue or cause they feel must be communicated, one they may have come across during their community outreach work. On stage, music, dance and drama predominate. However, there are many other interests and talents at play behind the scenes.

This fun, colourful production, besides showcasing talents, also imparts a host of life lessons and skills like discipline, hard work, commitment, team-work, decision making, and organisation. The PODs feed into this, as do the community outreach modules, and our goal of creating ‘socially responsible citizens’.

Safety & Wellbeing at Inventure Academy

Safety of our children and staff is our highest priority. We create safe spaces – both physical and emotional – through psychological and emotional wellbeing programmes rooted in our core values of sensitivity, compassion, teamwork, balancing freedom with responsibility, fostering a sense of individuality, and wider world exposure.
Inventure Academy is an ISO-certified institution that follows international quality standards, ensuring consistency, safety, and accountability across all aspects of school life.

Contribution to Child Safety Policy

Inventure initiated a pioneering partnership with UNICEF, 18 schools across Bangalore, and child protection bodies to create a Student Charter on school safety. Based on feedback from 1,100+ learners, it influenced the Karnataka Child Protection Policy and the Child Safety & Protection Law implemented in 2018.

Cyber Safety Advocacy

During the Inventure Academy Round Square Youth Parliament -- Our World, Our Voice (2018), students nationwide shared views on online safety. Inventure learners compiled their inputs into a charter presented to the Government and the United Nations, amplifying young voices on cybersecurity.

Wellbeing & Counselling

Our six wellbeing counsellors support learners through academic, psychological, and emotional challenges. Guided by our Child Wellbeing Policy and Committee, we ensure a nurturing environment where every learner feels safe to express themselves freely and with confidence.

POSH Policy

Inventure Academy is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment with zero tolerance for sexual harassment. Built on mutual respect and cultural sensitivity, our policy ensures that all staff and management comply with legal standards protecting every individual from harassment of any kind.

Animal Assisted Therapy for Mental Health & Wellbeing

Our trained golden retrievers support learners’ emotional wellbeing by fostering empathy, compassion, and sensitivity. Research shows that animal-assisted therapy helps reduce anxiety, improves focus, and enhances emotional regulation – adding joy and comfort to daily life for both learners and faculty.

Success Mentor Programme

Our mentoring programme connects senior school learners with trusted guides who support them in developing life skills, academic goals, and personal growth. Through tools like BridgeU, learners explore career pathways, identify strengths, and plan their futures with clarity and confidence.

Honour Code

Inventure Academy’s Honour Code is the foundation of how our school functions. It brings together our values, policies, and processes, and guides learners, teachers, and parents in building a respectful, responsible, and caring community. Rooted in relational and restorative practice, it focuses on understanding impact, repairing harm, and strengthening relationships rather than punishment alone.

The Honour Code also includes the Pathfinder, which helps us navigate complex situations with clarity and consistency. We encourage individuality and freedom within a shared framework that promotes unity across Grades, Houses, and the wider school community, shaping thoughtful, socially responsible citizens ready to thrive anywhere in the world.

Building a Scalable Public School Transformation Model

What started as one adopted government school is now a scalable, provable model for public school transformation—powered by Inventure’s classrooms, teachers, and students.

Teacher mentoring, bilingual classrooms, and programmes in STEM, arts, and entrepreneurship are extending the Inventure way of learning into the public education system. The results are already visible. Ramagondanahalli is now ranked the #1 Government School in Karnataka in the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2025–26, reflecting real improvements in enrolment, attendance, and academic performance.

If you believe in strengthening public education and want to be part of this journey, we invite you to join us in shaping the next phase of this work.

At the start of every school year, Inventuring transforms the campus into a space of active learning and exploration. Students engage in a range of activities — from building gardens and outdoor structures to multiple-intelligence treasure hunts, outdoor games, journaling, and reflection. Each activity is chosen to spark curiosity, build personal skills, and nurture a love for learning that carries into the year ahead.
