Bombay Cambridge Gurukul

30 years of Leading Change in Education
Bombay Cambridge Gurukul Chairman, Vikram Patel says, “In this era of globalization, we want our students to be responsible world citizens of the future, people who are sensitive and have compassion, who have the resilience to face challenges, and demonstrate respect for all living organisms on the planet. Every BCG student has within him/her tremendous potential and the confidence to make a significant contribution to the life of all around them.”

With approximately 700 teachers and 12,000 students BCG ensures that there is a healthy teacher-student ratio so that every child gets the necessary attention to understand, imbibe and apply the knowledge that is imparted in class. The BCG curriculum functions within the framework set by the Cambridge Assessment International Education, UK and the Maharashtra State Education Board. The academic curriculum is further augmented by off-site camps, field excursions and study tours. Chief Education Officer, Achama Mathew adds, “The academic standards in BCG are extra-ordinary, with 75% of our students scoring distinction and above in Board exams, thanks to the excellent teaching faculty. Being selected to pilot and implement the new Global Perspectives curriculum by Cambridge Assessment International Education is a testimonial to our curricular planning and design.”


Nothing helps all-round development more than engaging in creative and collaborative pursuits. Students participate enthusiastically in the BCG Model United Nations each year, taking one more step towards being global citizens. Students are benchmarked at the school-level, inter-BCG level and the national and international level in a wide array of competitions and examinations, as per their choice. These activities help students identify their interests, express their potential, and hone their talents. With a special focus on sports, students outdo themselves to shine at Athlein, the Inter-BCG Sports Meet held annually.

The schools have an active Child Protection Policy since 2015, drafted by experienced educators. The school students are involved with several community service programs which sensitize the students to varying human conditions and their environment. Value added programs for career awareness and life skills build self-esteem, leadership skills, social confidence, and conscious citizenship in the students.

BCG schools have been awarded for excellence in pedagogy, internationalism, career awareness, student centrism, and academic reputation among others at the national and international level, while making the rank among top schools by leading newspapers.

Head of HRD, Upasana Saraf vouches, “ What makes a BCG school stand-out is the warm and nurturing eco-system created with a student centric approach at the heart of every decision. The schools are conscious of building psychological and emotional health as much as the capacity to think and analyze in students. The schools stand proof that student sensitive practices are conducive to excellent academic achievement and all-round development.”
