About sgpta

Shri Gurura
ja Parents and Teachers Association (SGPTA) is a co-educational primary and secondary school in Thygarajanagar in Bangalore, Karnataka, India

History of our school:-
The school was started by teachers and parents of another local school near Netakallapa Circle in Basavangudi in response to an increase in the school fees. The school had no building of its own and borrowed the premises of the nearby Acharya Patashala School (APS). The classes were conducted in the morning when the class rooms of APS were free.

After about a year, the school rented a house in Nagasandra Circle, Basavangudi and started a full-time school. The number of pupils grew steadily and in 1978 they had enough numbers to have two classes for the first grade (I standard).

Eventually the school bought a piece of land in Thyagaraja Nagara and constructed the current building.


Syllabus:-
The syllabus followed is from the Karnataka Education Board. There are about four tests conducted by the school during the year and two exams. The final exam can be either a public exam or a school exam depending the grade/standard.

S.G.P.T.A has as its emblem, a book of knowledge supported by a lotus, a symbol of purity, grace and dignity. Books are a means to worldly success but man has to grow beyond the worldly pursuits to discover the ever ascending mind and the soul of humanity which should irradiate by its inner strength and light, symbolised by a flame of light at the centre. It is when awakened to the Truth, that we live only for the divine.

All these are contained within a circle that symbolises integrity, discipline and fullness. Inscribed atop the circle that contains the emblem of S.G.P.T.A is "Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye" from the Upanishad, which translated, sums up the motto : "That which leads us to liberation is education. Liberation means freeing oneself from all forms of bondage. As one sheds these restrictions one becomes independent and a perfect "Vivekin". This attainment of wisdom is possible only through Vidya. That which imparts such an education is really a temple.
