Classrooms
The
classrooms are spacious and are designed to get lot of
natural light and air. The soft boards in the classrooms
facilitate display of student work there by encouraging
creativity and the zeal to learn.
Labs
We
have three labs for each of the sciences: Physics, Chemistry
and Biology. These labs are well equipped and cater
to the needs of the various syllabi that the students
opt for. Here the students perform various experiments
pertaining to their field of study.
There are two computer labs with 25 to 30 computers
in each. Students use computers for their research work
and for the purpose of communication with their family.
Library
The
well lit and airy library is a welcome place at SBA. This
resource center is well equipped for various research
needs of the school community. Currently we have more
than 8000 documents; both print and electronic. Students
make use of the resources for various projects. It is
a fully automated learning resource center. Our Grade
V students have a cozy reading corner and a collection
of books that deeply interest their young minds.
Boarding houses
We
have four boarding houses Aditya, Bhaskar, Martand
and Vivasvan. A group of 100 boys is placed under the
charge of a housemaster. Our spacious and comfortable
rooms accommodate between three and six boys in each
room. Every room has an attached bathroom. A resident
house-mother assists the housemaster in pastoral cares.
A housekeeper coordinates with each of the resident
staff for the smooth functioning of all the houses.
Each house contains two student common rooms with comfortable
lounge furniture, television, table tennis and indoor
games facilities. All the students complete their studies
in the study hall, a large room in the boarding house
designed to provide each student with ample study space
and storage areas for books and projects. The study
hall is supervised by the teaching faculty and other
faculty often visit to assist students with specific
projects or homework tasks.
The principal and the entire teaching staff reside
on the campus to ensure their easy availability for
the child at all times.
Dining hall
A
well-balanced, healthy, vegetarian diet prepared under
the supervision of a qualified nutritionist is served
in a well-designed central dining hall, to all the students
who dine along with the teaching staff and their spouses.
This hall can accommodate 650 - 700 people. The catering
manager is the administrative head of the dining hall.

school has large playing fields and our students have
the opportunity to play a range of sports cricket,
football, athletics, tennis, badminton, table tennis

modern gym and a swimming pool provide additional physical
activity. To bring out the child's maximum potential,
we have professional coaches for all sports.
