The Journey of Jnanasarovara International Residential School
A legacy of education and values
Established with a vision to create an exceptional centre of learning and character formation, Jnanasarovara International Residential School began its inspiring journey in the year 2004 under the leadership of Shri Sudhakar S. Shetty. Built on a sprawling 75-acre campus in the serene outskirts of Mysore, this institution was conceived as more than just a school — it was envisioned as a nurturing and transformative home where young minds could grow academically, emotionally and socially.
From the very beginning, our founder imagined a place where education would be holistic — balancing intellectual excellence with life skills, moral strength and global perspectives. Over the years, the school has evolved steadily into a vibrant international residential community, welcoming students not only from across India but from around the world. Each generation of learners adds new energy and diversity to the school’s culture, making it a true melting pot of ideas and aspirations.
Nestled amidst lush greenery on 75 acres of land, the campus has grown into a dynamic educational environment equipped with modern classrooms, well-stocked libraries, advanced laboratories and extensive sports facilities, enabling students to explore their potential in academics, sports, arts and leadership.
Throughout its history, Jnanasarovara International Residential School has remained committed to its founding principle — to educate with a focus on knowledge, character and global citizenship. Today, the school stands proud as a respected institution in Mysore, shaping confident, compassionate and capable young adults ready to contribute meaningfully to society.
