850 km from Mumbai, Nagpur is Maharashtra's second capital city
after Mumbai and a major city in the Vidarbh region. With a population
of around 3 million, it won the Best City Award in 2001 for its
excellent infrastructure.
Nagpur is also known as the 'orange city' because of its superb
quality of oranges. Geographically, Nagpur is the center of India
and is a major hub for transport, telecommunications and other
essential infrastructure needs. Nagpur's cosmopolitan way of life
attract people of many professional backgrounds and as a result,
there is a continuing demand for high quality education and other

Twenty years ago, BAPS Satsang
in Nagpur was inaugurated through the inspiration of HDH Pramukh
Swami Maharaj. Through the efforts of Swamishri, senior sadhus and
devotees the congregation in Nagpur steadily grew in strength. A
Hari Mandir was soon inaugurated by Swamishri. And then the permanent
presence of sadhus in Nagpur added momentum to the various socio-spiritual
activities of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. Since June 1997, the Swaminarayan
School project has been in operation for the benefit of hundreds
of children. |

BAPS
has been active successfully in the field of education for almost
40 years. This experience has been brought to Nagpur to cater for
the growing need of high quality, value-based education. BAPS has
always sought to educate both the mind and the spirit. For its only
when character is instilled in children that their academic achievements
shine out.
We also encourage children to develop their talent in arts, crafts,
music, sports, etc. by providing suitable arrangements.
Hence, BAPS education has been highly successful over the past four
decades in producing brilliant, talented children. The BAPS Swaminarayan
schools inspire values, academic excellence, health awareness, sports,
technology, global understanding, communication, etc. and thus offer
their services to their family, religion, society and country.
Values
To develop the individual by
inculcating universal human values of love, kindness, devotion and
service before individual self.
To build self-esteem and confidence through caring.
Academic
To integrate para vidya with apara vidya, and help shape the student
into a complete individual. A synthesis of both should enable a
holistic growth of the individual.
To guide the student to be self-motivated and an independent lifelong
learner.
Health
To appreciate the importance of personal health, hygiene and fitness.
Sports
To understand and practice the qualities of discipline, teamwork
and fairness on the sports field.
Technology
To combine the best and most imaginative of modern teaching methods
with an emphasis on effective usage with ethics.
Global Understanding
To relate their own reality to that of other cultures and world
affairs, and develop an appreciation of the advantages and disadvantages
of global interdependence.
Communication
To develop skills of communication, critical thinking, reasoning
and problem solving. |

We believe that a child is an individual with his own learning
styles and capabilities. The child needs an ideal environment
to absorb positive attitudes and values to attain full potential.
The Swaminarayan School gives special emphasis on factors that
influence thought and behavior through novel and essential means.

The Swaminarayan School at Nagpur was inaugurated by HDH Pramukh
Swami Maharaj on 22 June 1997. This residential day school began
with 215 students in the nursery and kindergarten classes of the
Pre-Primary School.
Since then, with the commencement of the Primary School & high school the student
strength has grown to 1,500 in 2009.
The Swaminarayan School provides an English-medium education from
nursery level up to the twelve standard.
The school employs experienced, qualified teachers, whose teaching
standards are continually updated through special training programs.
Thus, in a relatively short period of time, the school has established
a reputation for high quality education. So, with the increasing
demand for admission a blueprint for a state-of-the-art premise
has been made. |

With the steady growth of the school, education upto standard
12 will be provided. At present the existing school is registered
with the Maharashtra board, but the future plan is to affiliate
it with the CBSE. To cater for classes from the nursery level
to standard 12, the new school has been built on a 95,000 sq.ft.
site, with 55,000 sq.ft. of buildings. Many facilities will be
incorporated, including:
- Residential facility from Std.
4
- Auditorium
- Computer labs
- Physic, Biology and Chemistry
labs
- Library
- Play areas
- Health club
- Staff and administrative offices
Extra -curricular activities will include:
- Yoga classes
- Karate classes
- Sketing classes
- Handicraft classes
- Traditional dance classes
- Personality development classes
- Summer vacation camps
- Music classes
Special celebrations will be held to mark religious festivals,
such as, Ram Navami, Janmashtami, Diwali, Guru Purnima, etc
... to educate children about India's glorious tradition and
culture.
The ground breaking ceremony for the additional school complex
was performed by HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj on 12 April 2004.

There has been an urgent demand from
parents for a residential English medium school. Accordingly, residential
facilities for students of Standards |V, V, VI and VII have been
organized from the start of the academic year, June 2004. Parents
of these students have expressed great satisfaction regarding the
overall development of their children.
In addition to parental care and
attention for a child’s all round development, community
living in a hostel also plays as important role in maiking a child
self reliant, competent and confident.
