A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

“Vana was created as a sanctuary for childhood- a place where learning grows slowly, deeply, like roots in rich soil. Here, children are free to wonder, to explore, to play. And in that freedom, they discover who they are becoming.”

Creating Spaces
That Inspire

EVERY PART OF OUR CAMPUS IS A STATEMENT
OF SUSTAINABILITY & INNOVATION

Designed by award - winning architects, our campus is more than a place of learning; it is a living and breathing ecosystem. With bamboo infrastructure, regenerative materials, and renewable resources, our built environment reflects our belief that education must align with nature. Every corner of the campus represents innovation and environmental consciousness, creating a space where students not only learn about the world but also learn from it. Part of our campus rests along the Bannerghatta forest’s elephant corridor this presented us with a unique opportunity to create a campus that doesn’t just exist in nature, but one that belongs to it.

Start Strong with Our
Early Years Programme

Ekya Vana Early Years, a nature-based preschool rooted in sustainability, empathy, and purposeful exploration.

At Ekya Vana Early Years, children don’t simply go to school — they walk barefoot on leaf-strewn trails, dig their hands into the soil, and watch seeds of curiosity bloom. They don’t just learn about the world. They grow with it. Here, every tree is a teacher. Every puddle is a playground. Every moment is a chance to wonder.

At Vana, every experience is designed to spark curiosity, build resilience, and nurture a deeper connection with the world around us. From immersive residencies to hands-on camps, we invite you to be part of a community where learning and living go hand in hand.

Take the next step and join us in shaping a future rooted in purpose and possibility.
