* Recognised for embedding sustainability into campus design, everyday learning and student action
EuroSchool Bannerghatta has been named among the world’s Top 10 schools in the Environmental Action category of the World’s Best School Prizes 2026, organised by T4 Education.
The recognition places the Bengaluru school among a select group of institutions demonstrating how environmental responsibility can be embedded not only in what students learn, but also in how a school is designed, operated and experienced every day.
EuroSchool Bannerghatta is also among seven Indian schools featured across the Top 10 shortlists for the World’s Best School Prizes 2026, making India the most represented country this year.
Founded by T4 Education in 2022, the World’s Best School Prizes celebrate schools transforming lives in classrooms and communities around the world. The five award categories are Community Collaboration, Environmental Action, Innovation, Overcoming Adversity and Supporting Healthy Lives.
EuroSchool Bannerghatta has been recognised for creating a nature-inspired learning ecosystem in which academics, wellbeing, sustainability and life skills come together to nurture environmentally conscious, emotionally resilient and future-ready learners.
The school’s environmental journey began before the campus was built. Developed on land that was once a thriving orchard, the school was designed around the existing trees, including a jackfruit tree that had been promised protection. Rather than treating nature as an obstacle to development, the campus was shaped around it.
That philosophy now extends into everyday school life through outdoor learning, waste segregation, composting, Farm to Table activities, food-waste reduction and student-led environmental action.
Speaking on the recognition, Mr Sadashiv Nayak, CEO – K–12 Schools, Lighthouse Learning Group, said:
“Being named among the world’s Top 10 schools for Environmental Action is a proud moment for the entire EuroSchool Bannerghatta community. The school demonstrates that environmental responsibility becomes meaningful when it is built into the culture, systems and everyday experiences of students. This recognition is a testament to the collective efforts of our students, educators, parents and teams.”
Ms Seethalakshmi Kartha, Senior Principal, EuroSchool Bannerghatta, said:
“This recognition belongs to our entire school community. From the way our campus was built to the choices our students make every day, environmental responsibility has always been part of who we are. We are honoured to be recognised alongside schools from across the world and remain committed to empowering our students to become thoughtful, responsible changemakers.”
The winners of the five World’s Best School Prizes will be selected by an expert Judging Academy, with the Top 3 finalists and winners scheduled to be announced in November 2026.
All 50 shortlisted schools across the five categories will also participate in a global Public Vote to determine the recipient of the Community Choice Award.
The shortlisted schools and winners will be invited to the World Schools Summit in London in January 2027, where they will share their experiences and best practices with policymakers and education leaders from around the world.
The recognition marks an important milestone for EuroSchool Bannerghatta and strengthens its commitment to making environmental responsibility a visible, participative and enduring part of school life.
Tree Cheers to EuroSchool Bannerghatta.
