At The Badhani School, we strongly believe that Visual Arts forms an integral part of the holistic development of a child. The Studio is a dedicated space for students to express themselves through traditional mediums like Drawing, Painting, Clay Modeling, Printmaking and Photography.

Classrooms are quiet big and spacious with huge gothic windows for keeping in mind the requirement of fresh air and natural light at all times. It contains 6 windows and 2 doors and a dais in the front and desks and chairs arranged in orderly rows. At TBS, students learn in comfortably/ergonomically designed classrooms equipped with LED panels, white boards and Cameras are installed. Whole School has 20 Smart Learn Classrooms. Wi-Fi access points are available to provide wireless coverage to all the classrooms.

There are two libraries located in different sections of the school. The collection includes books, newspapers, magazines, desktop computers, reference materials, CDs and DVDs. All the hostel complexes are having well stocked libraries separate for Senior boys, Junior boys and girls hostel.

Education at The Badhani School doesn’t finish in the classroom. Residential life is hugely influential in our students’ development – shaping their journey as they grow into confident individuals and global citizens. The entire staff at TBS resides in the campus and helps students develop as healthy, responsible and caring citizens. According to the students of the Badhani School it is a “home away from home’, which is the best appreciation for our efforts. Our precious young generation is provided not only with a warm and homely ambience, but also with opportunities to enhance creativity and learning.

We encourage students to pick up baking classes in our baking studio. We also have Chips and Chocolates confectionery which provide different types of breads, cookies, snacks, cakes, chocolates and other delicacies to relish.

The state-of-the-art laboratories at the school meet all the international standards of safety, and standards of the national and the international curriculum. There are three separate spacious labs for Physics, Chemistry and Biology, which are used to infuse a spirit of learning and inquiry in young minds. The experiments conducted in our labs help students better understand complex concepts, while also giving them the opportunity to be inquirers and enabling them to explore a world beyond books.

The mathematics laboratory at the school is a place where anybody can experiment and explore different techniques to solve problems and have learning material available. It is a place where students have a collection of games, and puzzles. The mathematics lab provides an opportunity for the students to discover mathematics through doing. The layout of the Math Lab is designed in mathematical shapes and can accommodate upto 30 students in 6 different tables (5 in each table). This arrangement helps in facilitating collaborative learning among students.

Information Technology and Cybernetics have made inroads into academic programmes. We have gone headlong into becoming an IT-savvy school offering Computer Science and other computer courses as prescribed by the curriculum offered in our school. Students have unlimited access to computers and the professional software tools that go with them. Our teaching laboratories are equipped with computers networked to common file servers and connected to the outside world via the internet through leased lines.

We provide our students with a range of well-balanced, wholesome and nutritious meals that are prepared using fresh produce from our organic farms. They have vast and extensive menu which is repeated only once in 15 days. The flavoursome, homely meals cooked at the Badhani kitchens are yearned for long after children have passed out of the school. Meals are provided keeping in mind the nutritional value and the intake that is necessary for growing children. Keeping in mind the diverse student body, various cuisines which includes veg and non veg dishes, morning and evening snacks are provided along with milk. The staff members and students dine together.

We have spaces for the development of talents and entertainment, sports and culture. The school is equipped with two football grounds, one cricket stadium, four basketball grounds, eight volleyball grounds (including one synthetic volleyball ground), one skating rink, one tennis court, four badminton courts, an auditorium, gymnasium and swimming pool.
