B.M. Bopanna, president and chief mentor of Everonn School Ltd., a subsidiary of Chennai-based Everonn Education Ltd, said that the KenBridge School would be different from conventional schools, with a motto to provide intensive, project-based, and career-oriented education.
Mr. Bopanna said that the key features of the school would be enquiry-based learning, co-curricular activities to develop the child's innate potential, continuous teacher empowerment and professional development programme and framing a curriculum that emphasised the development of intelligence of every child.
To a question, Mr. Bopanna said that it would be a day school to begin with.
After two or three years the question of starting a residential school would be considered.
