Inventure Academy
What fuel is to the world, education is for India, with the stumbling blocks being consistency and quality! Inventure Academy is redefining quality education by 'instilling in students the ability and conviction to realise their full potential, be socially responsible citizens and excel anywhere in the world'.
With a blend of invention and nurture, Inventure has been delivering excellence and reinventing itself relentlessly since 2005. Located in the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore, Inventure is a fully accredited and independent international school and is affiliated to the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE).
The methodology at Inventure is experiential and multidisciplinary, encompassing the diverse ways in which children learn, both individually and collaboratively.
From Pre-K to Grade 12, the school challenges and scaffolds its 'Inventurers' to think critically, work diligently, play fairly and act empathetically, thereby molding them into innovative, responsible and sensitive human beings.
Inventure offers an all-encompassing school experience that balances academic rigor with the creative arts, sports and community service, while focusing on life skills of adaptability, ethics, critical thinking, problem solving and risk taking.
