School Profile

Shri Sanatan Dharm School was established in the year 1931 as a primary school near Laxman Mandir. Over the decades, the school grew steadily and was upgraded to the middle school level in the 1930s, secondary level in the 1960s, and senior secondary level in the 1980s. In the year 2000, the school received permanent affiliation up to the Higher Secondary level from the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education.

Throughout its long and eventful journey, the school has witnessed many challenges and transformations. The present Management Committee is committed to setting the highest standards of quality education in Bharatpur through a modern, value-based, and learner-focused approach.

At present, the school functions as an English-medium, co-educational day school. Shri Sanatan Dharm School is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and is also an authorized IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) School.

Vision and Ethos

Bharatpur and its surrounding regions are home to several reputed non-government schools that are doing commendable work in the field of education. Each institution has its own philosophy and distinctive ethos. Sanatan School does not seek to replace or compete with any existing school.

Instead, the school aims to add meaningful value to the educational landscape of Bharatpur by addressing specific gaps in quality, child-focused, and future-ready education, ensuring that students do not have to leave their city and families in search of better learning opportunities.

Child-Centric Approach to Education

Shri Sanatan Dharm School is a child-centric institution, where every academic and co-curricular decision is taken with the child at the center. The school recognizes that each learner is unique, with individual interests, abilities, learning styles, and emotional needs.

The school follows the principles and guidelines of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) and the National Curriculum Framework 2023 (NCF 2023), integrating them meaningfully into everyday teaching and learning practices.

Concept of High-Quality Education

At Sanatan, education is not limited to syllabus completion or examination performance. High-quality education is defined by the holistic development of the learner, encompassing intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and moral growth.

The school believes that quality education includes:

  • Individual attention to every child

  • Conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization

  • Development of critical and creative thinking

  • Learning that is engaging, relevant, and meaningful

  • Focus on nurturing a child’s full potential

  • Cultivation of lifelong learning habits

  • Effective use of time and structured routines

  • Promotion of healthy lifestyles and discipline

  • Strong cultural grounding and value education

  • All-round development of confidence and personality

  • Development of essential life skills for future challenges

Activity-Based and Stress-Free Learning

Teaching and learning at Sanatan School are activity-based, experiential, and inquiry-driven. Education is designed to be a joyful experience rather than a source of pressure or anxiety.

  • Classroom learning is enriched through projects, hands-on activities, experiments, discussions, and collaborative work

  • Students are encouraged to ask questions, express ideas freely, and think independently

  • Assessment is continuous, supportive, and developmental, minimizing unnecessary academic stress

  • The learning environment is safe, inclusive, positive, and motivating

The school firmly believes that learning under fear or pressure is neither effective nor sustainable. Confidence, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation are therefore actively nurtured.

Integrated Learning within School Hours

As a day school, Sanatan ensures that academic learning and co-curricular development take place within school hours. Equal importance is given to academics, sports, arts, music, life skills, and value-based activities.

  • Learners requiring additional support receive structured guidance and reinforcement

  • Average learners are provided opportunities for practice and consolidation

  • High-achieving learners are challenged through enrichment and extension activities

This differentiated approach ensures that every child progresses according to their potential.

Role of Parents

Sanatan School believes that education is a shared responsibility between the school and parents. While the school focuses on structured learning and skill development, parents play a crucial role in nurturing emotional well-being, values, and discipline at home.

Regular communication and collaboration between parents and the school help create a consistent, supportive, and balanced environment for the child’s overall growth.

Conclusion

At Shri Sanatan Dharm School, education is life-oriented rather than examination-oriented. The school strives to develop confident, compassionate, inquisitive, and responsible individuals who are well-prepared not only for academic success but also for meaningful participation in society.

The school remains committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and excellence, guided by the belief that there should be no limits to education.
