Our Faculty

Teaching is not a job at Vruksha. It is a calling.

We recruit educators who are as passionate about their subject as they are about the children in front of them. At Vruksha, our teachers are given the time, resources, and professional development to grow continuously — because we know that when teachers thrive, so do students.

Our faculty come from across India and around the world, bringing diverse perspectives, deep expertise, and a shared commitment to the Vruksha philosophy of holistic, inquiry-led education.

Every teacher undergoes a minimum of 40 hours of professional development per year through our in-house Professional Development Centre (PDC).
Small class sizes of maximum 22 students ensure every teacher can give each child genuine individual attention.
Our faculty-to-student ratio of 1:9 is among the best in Karnataka, allowing deep relationships to form between teachers and learners.
Teachers are encouraged to pursue research, publish, and contribute to the broader education community — making Vruksha a living learning institution.

Professional Development Centre

Teachers who never
stop learning.

The Vruksha Professional Development Centre (PDC) is our in-house institute for teacher growth. We believe the best schools invest as much in their faculty as in their students — and the PDC is proof of that belief.

Every faculty member completes a minimum of 40 hours of structured professional development each academic year.

Peer Learning & Observation

Regular structured classroom observation and feedback sessions between faculty members across departments.

External Expert Workshops

Quarterly workshops led by educators, researchers, and practitioners from IITs, IIMs, and international institutions.

Research & Publication Support

Faculty are encouraged and supported to conduct classroom research and publish in peer-reviewed education journals.

How Our Teachers Teach

A shared philosophy of education.

Every Vruksha teacher — regardless of subject or stage — shares these core beliefs about how children learn best.

Children Before Content

The relationship between teacher and student comes first. Before any lesson can begin, a child must feel safe, seen, and genuinely valued in that classroom.

Questions Over Answers

Our teachers guide students to discover answers through inquiry. The goal is not a correct answer — it is the habit of asking better and better questions.

Mastery Over Speed

We never rush through content to cover a syllabus. We go deep rather than wide — ensuring real understanding before moving on.

See Every Child

No child is average. Our teachers are trained to identify and respond to each student's individual learning profile, strengths, and areas of growth.

Model the Values

Teachers at Vruksha demonstrate the same values we ask of our students — curiosity, integrity, compassion, and a love of continuous learning.

Feedback is a Gift

Honest, specific, and kind feedback is central to learning at Vruksha. Our teachers are trained in the art of feedback that builds, not diminishes.

In Their Own Words

What it means to teach
at Vruksha.

“Vruksha gave me the freedom to actually teach — not just deliver a syllabus. The first time a student told me they read a book I recommended on their own, I knew I was in the right place.”

Ms. Nandita Iyer
Head of English · 11 years at Vruksha
“The PDC changed how I teach completely. The peer observation programme showed me things about my own teaching I couldn't see on my own. I'm a better teacher because of it.”
A
Mr. Arun Venkatesh
Head of Mathematics · 12 years at Vruksha
“I've taught at schools in three countries. Vruksha is the only place where leadership genuinely walks the talk. What they say about putting children first — they actually mean it”
D
Mr. Deepak Menon
Director of Sports · 18 years at Vruksha
“My students showed their artwork at the Bengaluru Art Fair last year. That doesn't happen at most schools. At Vruksha, the arts are taken as seriously as science and that makes all the difference.”
P
Ms. Preethi Chandran
Head of Visual Arts · 16 years at Vruksha
“Teaching physics here is a joy because the students are genuinely curious. They come to class wanting to know — and that makes every single lesson exciting for me too.”
