The Gurukul Foundation School: About Us

It was always a dream of our beloved Rev. Late Sh. P. L. Kapoor ji to provide quality education that instils in students the values needed to be compassionate and responsible human beings. His vision was to give every child a strong foundation in life, nurturing confidence, leadership, and a deep sense of being truly Indian, modern, and profoundly human. In our pursuit of fulfilling this dream, The Gurukul Foundation School in Kashipur, Uttarakhand aims to not only develop academic excellence but also cultivate a heightened sense of consciousness and awareness, enabling students to engage with the world around them with empathy and purpose.

Our Vision

To make The Gurukul a temple of learning and a heritage site of knowledge—one that people return to, even after years of its existence. We envision blending the wisdom of ancient education systems with modern technological advancements to create a holistic learning environment. At The Gurukul, we aim to immerse students in a rich cultural experience while preparing them to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Our Sankalpa

The school aims to be an institution of excellence. It is dedicated to providing our learners holistic education and moral values and nurturing their inborn talents through the harmonious integration of brain, body, breath, and beliefs. We believe that education is not only for the mind but also for the soul within. With the philosophy of "to see my child in every child," we are committed to offering each student the care, individualised support, and nurturing they need to flourish as unique individuals.

Our Ethos

The Gurukul system of education emphasizes qualities such as ‘simple living’, ‘discipline’, ‘loyalty and dutiful’ and ‘quest for learning’. The objective behind naming the school, ‘Gurukul’ was to impart education using the most modern methods of teaching while laying importance on our culture and values, making it a ‘Temple of Learning’.The logo, the bell was chosen after a lot of thought. Symbolically, the body of the bell represents ‘time’, the tongue of the bell represents Goddess Saraswati; the Goddess of Learning and the handle represents ‘Prana Shakti’. Since Gurukul emphasizes ‘time management’ and the ‘importance of knowledge’; the bell represents the school and all the values it stands for.

Empathy

At The Gurukul, empathy goes beyond understanding others—we encourage students to step into the shoes of their peers, teachers, and community, fostering deep connections. By cultivating empathy, we shape individuals who are not only emotionally intelligent but also capable of making thoughtful, inclusive decisions that contribute to a more harmonious society.

Compassion

At The Gurukul, compassion is the driving force behind all we do. We instill in our students the importance of kindness, encouraging them to act selflessly and support those in need. By fostering compassion, we aim to nurture individuals who not only care for others but also contribute to building a more just and empathetic world.

Integrity

Integrity is the guiding principle that shapes the character of our students at The Gurukul. We emphasise honesty, accountability, and moral courage in every aspect of life. Our aim is to instill a strong ethical foundation, empowering students to make decisions that reflect truth and righteousness, no matter the circumstance.

Global Citizenship

In a rapidly interconnected world, The Gurukul fosters global citizenship, encouraging students to think beyond borders while appreciating their roots. We teach them the importance of cultural understanding, social responsibility, and service to the greater good, preparing them to contribute to both their nation and the global community with awareness and purpose.

Collaboration

Collaboration lies at the core of Gurukul's approach to learning. We believe that great achievements are born out of teamwork, where diverse ideas and perspectives come together. By promoting a culture of cooperation, we equip our students with the skills to work effectively with others, fostering creativity and shared success in all their endeavours.
