Sri Jayachamaraja Ursu Education Trust of erstwhile Mysore royal family that already has several educational institutions under it will run the new school, says Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar.

Mysore/Mysuru: Sri Chamarajendra School for Excellence on Krishnaraja Boulevard, Chamarajapuram in the city, will be starting from the academic year 2023-24 on the model of  National Education Policy (NEP-2020). It will be functioning from the heritage building, which once housed Sri Chamaraja Ursu Boarding School, that was winded up four years ago due to Covid situation.

Announcing this to media persons this morning, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar,  President, Sri Jayachamaraja Ursu Education Trust, said that “The new school will be flagged off on Feb. 22 as the day is the birth anniversary of erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore Sri Chamaraja Wadiyar, the founder of erstwhile Sri Chamaraja Ursu Boarding School. It will be run under Sri Jayachamaraja Ursu Education Trust that was established in the year 1957 by the then Maharaja of Mysore Jayachamaraja Wadiyar. The purpose  of the Trust is to provide value-based education.”

Yaduveer said, “Initially students for class 1 to 8 will be admitted. In the later years, the school will be upgraded to provide education till II PUC. The school is nestled in a spacious nine acres of land in the heart of the city, promising an eco-friendly campus and well connected to all the residential extensions of Mysuru city.”

It promises innovative technological teaching practices of the relevant education system. The infrastructure facility of the school also promises plastic-free and carbon-free campus. All the practices of the earlier school will continue in this NEP model school too, and will offer a curriculum to suit the current situation to equip the students to be competitive, without compromising on the quality of education, added Yaduveer.

Well-ventilated classrooms, activity-based learning, spacious playground, well-trained teachers and affordable fee structure form the additional features of the school, he said.

In a joint venture, the Trust is already running Wadiyar Centre for Architecture in the same campus (of Ursu Boarding School). Besides, Sri Vani Vilasa Ursu Girls High School (both primary and secondary), PU and Degree Colleges are being run at Nazarbad, added Yaduveer.
