2008
A beginning in Thane
Founded by Late Mrs. Rita Hemant Maru, Gurukul began with tuition classes and a nursery. The tuition classes started with 8 students.
About Us
A place to learn, explore and grow
Gurukul's roots in education date to 2008, when Gurukul Nursery and Coaching Classes began. Gurukul Little Hopes Pre-School followed in 2011, continuing that commitment to early learning.
Gurukul Bright World School was established in February 2020 to extend that work into school education. Today, the school serves students from Grade 1 to Grade 8, combining academic learning with character building and moral Indian values.
