I am writing this note to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the incredible experience my children, Jadon and Janice, had during their time at Bethany High School. From the moment they joined, it was evident that Bethany is not just a school but a nurturing community that prioritizes the holistic development of every child. Jadon and Janice truly enjoyed going to school every single day. They were not only loved and cared for by their teachers and friends but also thrived in the amazing culture and value system that the school has built. The emphasis on love, care, clean habits, and gentle motivation has left a lasting impression on them. The school’s focus on developing key skills, such as Abacus, karate, and other sports, has been instrumental in shaping their confidence and abilities. What stands out most is the healthy competitive environment that Bethany fosters. It’s not about pitting one child against another but about encouraging kids to grow and excel in their own unique ways. The teachers, helpers, management, and even the director have always been kind, supportive, and deeply invested in the well-being and growth of every child. It’s heartwarming to see how the school is willing to adapt policies and processes if it means bettering the lives of their students. This level of care and dedication is truly rare and speaks volumes about the values that Bethany upholds. The value system at Bethany is unparalleled. It flows seamlessly from the founder to every member of the school, including the drivers and teachers. The emphasis on building good habits, kindness, and quality education is evident in everything they do. I strongly believe that Bethany is one of the best choices for any parent in Bangalore who wants their child to grow into a well-rounded individual with strong values and skills. As a parent, I cannot thank Bethany enough for the positive impact it has had on my children. Jayden and Janice have not only gained knowledge but have also developed into confident, kind, and motivated individuals. I pray that Bethany continues to reach greater heights and produce leaders and skilled individuals who will contribute to the betterment of our country. To any parent considering Bethany High School for their child, I wholeheartedly recommend it. This school is a blessing, and I am confident that your child will thrive in its nurturing environment. My family and I will always cherish our time with Bethany and will continue to pray for its success.
Thank you, Bethany, for everything you do. God bless you all! Warm regards, Andrew Proud Parent of Jadon and Janice!
The Counselling Department at Bethany High School conducted insightful sessions on Digital Addiction for parents across Koramangala and Sarjapur campuses to address growing concerns about excessive technology use and its impact on children. The sessions aimed to provide awareness, research-backed insights, and actionable solutions to help families develop healthier digital habits.
Ms. Rohina Thomas, Senior Counsellor, led the first session, highlighting the influence of social media, toxic digital habits, and their effects on emotional and cognitive development. She emphasized the importance of setting screen time rules, leading by example, and prioritizing family time to create a healthier digital environment. A video on emerging digital trends was presented, followed by a Digital Detox Pledge, encouraging parents to implement responsible technology use at home.
The second session, led by Mr. Srihari, CEO and Co-Founder of SpryEN Solutions and SpryntZ Technologies, focused on the impact of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), its sources, and potential long-term health effects. Through live demonstrations and research-backed insights, he showcased how digital exposure influences well-being and provided practical measures to minimize risks.
Both sessions included interactive Q&A discussions, where parents actively engaged in conversations about managing digital habits, addressing behavioral concerns, and implementing structured technology use at home. These sessions reinforced Bethany High’s commitment to promoting digital wellness and intentional technology use, equipping parents with the knowledge and tools to foster a balanced digital lifestyle for their children.

Mr. Robert Khin earned this honour after a rigorous interview process with two distinguished experts—Dr. AK Sharma and Dr. A.P. Jayaraman. Their expertise in education and science helped assess leadership skills, innovation in school management, and contributions to student development.
The award ceremony took place on 1st February 2025 at Le Meridien, Hyderabad, bringing together some of the most influential school leaders and educationists from across the country. This award reflects Mr. Khin’s commitment to academic excellence and his dedication to shaping the future of students.

On January 25th, 2025, the Bethany Sarjapur Campus hosted a memorable Valedictory Ceremony with the theme- “Bespoke” for the graduating class of 2024-2025. A total of 287 students from Grades 10 and 12 bid farewell to their school with a poignant evening filled with music, speeches, and blessings.
The ceremony commenced with a captivating processional, the graduating students walking to the stage as the band played “Gonna Be Okay” by Brent Morgan. The air was filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement.
Following a stirring worship and prayer led by the Music and Theatre Department, Mr. Robert Khin, Principal of Bethany High, welcomed the gathering. He encouraged the graduating students to embrace their unique journeys, emphasizing the importance of character development as they venture beyond the familiar confines of their school.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the address by Mr. Rajiv Chelladurai, a renowned Leadership Facilitator and Executive Coach. He introduced the concept of “Bespoke,” urging the students to view their lives as unique and tailor-made for greatness. Mr. Chelladurai emphasized the importance of self-reflection, encouraging them to ponder four crucial questions: “What is my Why? What do I stand for? What do I have to offer? What am I willing to give up?” He cautioned against the “Epidemic of Comparison,” inspiring the students to define success on their own terms and celebrate their individuality.
Bethany has always taken pride in shaping young minds who go on to pursue diverse and remarkable careers, both in India and abroad. The foundation for these achievements is firmly established during Grades 10 and 12, as students are guided to explore their potential and prepare for the world beyond school.
For those transitioning from Class 10, the decision between continuing with the ISC curriculum or pursuing a pre-university course (PUC) marks a pivotal moment. Bethany’s ISC programme stands out for its comprehensive approach to learning, not only promoting academic excellence but also critical thinking and holistic development. The school provides dedicated support for students, whether they aim to secure admission to international universities or prepare for competitive exams in India, ensuring their future plans are met with clarity and direction.
The ceremony also featured several touching moments:
Recognition of Excellence: Outstanding students were recognized by their teachers, with special awards presented to deserving individuals.
Student Tribute: Samuel Ethan Pinto, President of the Bethany Student Organisation, delivered a heartfelt tribute, expressing his gratitude for the school’s unwavering support and the values instilled within him.
Parental Appreciation: Mrs. Sharoon Sunny, parent of the Head Boy, Sarjapur, eloquently expressed her appreciation for the dedicated faculty and staff who played a significant role in her son’s journey.
A Touch of Magic: The Bethany Dance Crew mesmerized the audience with a captivating performance titled “Iconic – Tailored to Perfection,” while the Valedictorians delivered a soul-stirring rendition of “When You Believe” by Stephen Schwartz.
The ceremony culminated with a poignant candle-lighting ceremony, where the students were encouraged to be beacons of light in the world. As the graduates walked out with the uplifting tune of “Roar” by Katy Perry ringing in their ears, they were ready to embrace the future with confidence and individuality.
The valedictory ceremony was a heartfelt farewell and a celebration of the individuality that Bethany nurtures in every student. With the lessons learned and values instilled here, they step into the world as bespoke individuals, ready to make their mark and shape a future of endless possibilities.
Sports have always been a part of my life. My mother made sure my sister and I had every opportunity to pursue sports. She enrolled us in gymnastics classes when I was just five years old.
One day, at the same stadium, a poster caught my eye about fencing classes. It was a sport we had never heard of before, and I was intrigued. We asked the coach what it was all about, and he explained that fencing is like sword fighting combined with physical chess. There are three main styles or “weapons”—Foil, Épée, and Sabre—chosen for a person based on their physical and mental strengths.
I loved gymnastics and showed potential, but over time, my interest began to fade. However my mother was keen that I continue gymnastics.
At the time, I was only eight years old, which was too young to join, but my sister decided to give it a try. She chose Foil as her weapon, and I watched with fascination, eagerly waiting for the day I could join too. Eventually, my gymnastics coach was transferred to another city, and the gymnastics academy closed down, which marked the end of that chapter.
In 2018, when I was finally old enough, I joined fencing. My coach recommended I start with Foil because, once you learn it, it’s easier to pick up with other weapons. My mother hoped I would continue with Foil, so my sister and I could practice together. However, I knew that Foil wasn’t the right fit for me. I was much more drawn to Sabre.
I entered my first local competition with Foil and was thrilled to win a bronze medal. It was a significant achievement, that sparked something inside me—fencing was more than just a new activity; it was something I wanted to pursue.
A few months later, I decided to switch to Sabre. I had always felt a strong connection to it, so I focused on improving my skills in that weapon. I won a silver medal in the under-11 category and a gold in the under-13 category at an inter-school fencing competition. This helped convince my mother that Sabre was the right choice for me, although she still had some doubts.
As I continued training the announcement of the “Karnataka State Fencing Championship 2019” presented a critical decision: I had to choose one weapon to focus on. Fencing has a rule that once you compete with a particular weapon in an official event, you must stick with that weapon for at least three years. After much deliberation, I chose Sabre.
At the state championship, I won a silver medal, which earned me a spot on the Karnataka fencing team for the nationals. That was a turning point. I realized that fencing was no longer just a hobby for me—it was something I was serious about. My team and I worked intensely, training 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. Our hard work paid off when we won a team bronze medal. The experience taught me the importance of teamwork and the value of supporting each other.
However, the Covid-19 pandemic threw a wrench in my plans. Fearing the virus, I made the decision to take a break from training. It was one of the worst decisions I made in my life. While I was at home, many of my peers were improving their skills, and when I returned to the sport after a year, I was shocked at how much they had advanced. I found myself losing to younger competitors, and it was a hard pill to swallow.
After a devastating loss in the semi-final at the “Karnataka Mini Olympics 2.0, (2022)” I questioned whether I should continue fencing. It was heartbreaking to think about walking away after everything I had invested. What would I do without fencing? It had become a part of my identity. Thanks to my mother’s unwavering support, I found the strength to keep going. I set my sights on a bigger goal: to represent India at the Olympics.
Over the next two years, I remained consistently in the top four in my state and competed in national tournaments. Though my performance didn’t always meet my expectations, I never lost sight of my goal.
Then came 2023, a year that marked a major comeback for me. I participated in the “Cadet (Under-17) National Fencing Championship” in Mehsana, Gujarat, where my team won a silver medal. I was finally back in form. After so many years of being at my lowest, it felt like a fresh start. This victory gave me the chance to compete in the “Khelo India Youth Games 2023” in Chennai, where I was ranked 18th. Competing against the best players in India was a valuable experience that taught me so much.
Now, I’m preparing for the “Junior (Under-20) National Fencing Championship 2024” in December and the “Cadet (Under-17) National Fencing Championship” in January. If I finish in the top 8, I could compete in the selections for the Indian team to play in the ‘Common-wealth Games’ or ‘Asian Championship’.
Looking back, I realize how gymnastics played a crucial role in shaping my fencing journey. I’ve noticed that athletes who have been involved in sports from a young age tend to pick up new disciplines more quickly.
I owe all my success to my mother and sister. They are always in my corner, supporting me. I’m also extremely grateful to Robert sir and the entire school for being so encouraging and supportive.
Fencing has become more than just a sport for me—it’s my passion, my purpose, and my future.
Samarth Soni, a dedicated and spirited 15-year-old student of grade 9C Bethany High Sarjapur, has made remarkable strides in table tennis. In July 2024, he competed in the CISCE Regional Table Tennis Tournament at Bethany High School, Sarjapur, where he played against the best of 55 schools and finished 4th in the singles category. This impressive performance qualified him for the CISCE National Championship in Lucknow, held from September 26th to 29th. Samarth’s journey in table tennis began just two years ago in 2022. An only child with a natural athletic inclination, Samarth advanced at the sport at his apartment’s society tournament, where he competed in both the under-15 and under-40 categories. His parents encouraged him to attend a table tennis academy, where he trained for two months. His love for the game grew, and he soon realized his strength lay in singles, where he felt fully in control. Although his first open tournament didn’t end in victory, it fueled his determination to improve. By 2023, he played in another open tournament at BTM, going head-to-head with players of all ages—a challenge he considers one of his toughest yet. However, these adversities prepared him for the CISCE National Championship. At the Nationals, Samarth faced intense competition, with matches being conducted from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. His dedication paid off when his team advanced to the finals, winning the semi-final against Punjab with a clean 3-0 score and defeating Maharashtra in the finals 3-1, securing the gold in the under-17 team category. Throughout this journey, his mother was by his side in Lucknow, offering unwavering support. To stay calm during matches, Samarth practices deep breathing and draws strength from his faith. Between rigorous training sessions at the Rashtrotthana-Scooled Table Tennis Arena and balancing academic commitments, he showed a commendable commitment to his sport. As Samarth reflects on his journey, he expresses gratitude for this unforgettable experience and is keen to continue training for even bigger events. We congratulate Samarth on his gold medal victory and look forward to seeing this talented young player reach even greater heights!
