Education without fear was what Rukmini Devi envisaged when she started Besant Arundale Senior Secondary School as an adjunct to Kalakshetra. It was her conviction that imparting proficiency in academics along with exposure to the arts would help the development of an all-round personality. It is in this respect that the school is unique providing children with an opportunity to learn fine arts from Kalakshetra on a part-time basis. Traditional attire, classes in the open air under trees, chanting of prayers of all religions in the serene atmosphere of the Tapovanam make the spirit of Gurukulam come alive. The school is living example of a fine blend of tradition and modernity and it shows that the most modern education with the latest aids can be imparted while emphasising age-old values in life. Apart from this, sports activities, yoga, bulbul, cubs, guides encourage cooperation and discipline. True to Rukmini Devi's ideas of Theosophy we believe in `Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' - the world as one family - and in Universal Brotherhood.
