Anjana Chandramouly

Bangalore, July 16

Real estate developer Bearys Group has started Montessori schools at two of its developments, LakeSide Habitat at Hebbal and Harmony Homes at Hennur Road, in Bangalore.

Mr Syed Mohamed Beary, Managing Director, Bearys Group, said that the schools, which are run under the ‘His Grace’ brand, are not commercial ventures and will be part of the amenities on offer. The company started its first Montessori school in Mangalore in 1997.

There are plans to start 100 schools in five years. For this, the company hopes to tie-up with other developers to set up schools in their developments. “We will take the space on rent, set up the entire facility and manage it also,” Mr Beary said.

The company is currently “in talks with three major Bangalore-based developers” for the same. “We are now creating our logistics. Once that is set up, we can create these schools at a faster pace,” he added.

According to him, the response for these schools has been good. Currently, there are 45 children — between two-and-a-half and five-and-a-half years of age — in each school.

Besides, the company has also adopted corporation schools near its project sites. “We redesign buildings, making them environmental and user friendly, thus, making the ambience inviting for the children,” said Mr Beary.

The company has added a dining and multi-purpose halls to the school’s infrastructure near the LakeSide Habitat development; and at the school near its upcoming Bearys Global Research Triangle, an IT park in Whitefield, it has built a dining hall.
