Empowering Every Learner With Recognized, Flexible Education
Operated under the aegis of Vivekananda Indian Education Trust in Nandini Layout, Bengaluru, Vivekananda Open School is dedicated to removing academic obstacles for students, working professionals, and private learners seeking recognized Class 10th (SSLC) and Class 12th (PUC equivalent) credentials.
A Second Chance at Mainstream Academic Success
Conventional schooling models often leave little room for life’s unexpected challenges. Every academic year across Karnataka, bright students discontinue their education due to financial responsibilities, personal health battles, or a single difficult examination in 9th, 10th SSLC, or 12th PUC. In traditional systems, one setback often creates a permanent barrier.
Inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s immortal ideal—“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man”—Vivekananda Open School was founded to ensure that no student is left behind. We provide an accredited, supportive, and dignified alternative pathway that gives learners complete control over their study pace, choice of subjects, and examination schedule.

Vivekananda Indian Education Trust
Registered under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, Vivekananda Indian Education Trust is a premier socio-educational non-profit committed to inclusive learning, youth literacy, and career enablement across Bengaluru and Karnataka.
