[1] Sri Aurobindo Memorial School offers CBSE curriculum from the 1st to the 10th grade.
What is now called the Sri Aurobindo Memorial School (SAMS) was founded in 1962 and has undergone many alterations to reach its present state.
The original founders of the school in early 1962 were Mr Nathaniel and his wife, Mrs Espoir Pearson, devotees of the Mother (Mirra Alfassa) and Sri Aurobindo, and the school received the Mother's blessings upon its foundation.
It was originally a primary school, having classes up to Standard 7 until the early 1970s when the Pearsons' left Bangalore for Australia.
It was following this invitation that Dr Santoshananda and his wife, Mrs Sushila Santosh came to Bangalore, which was towards the end of 1964, by which time The New English School was reasonably well established with about 150-200 students.
They were not residing in Bangalore at that time since Dr Santoshananda was in Muzaffarnagar while Mrs Sushila Santosh was living in Pondicherry.
Upon their return from the UK, Espoir Pearson resumed her duties as school principal, while Nathaniel Pearson assisted in curriculum development and teaching English to students, and his wife's younger sister, Ms Shashi Kanta Sharma assisted with various teaching duties.
Early teachers at the New School/New English School included Mr. Balakrishnan and Ms Shanta Issac.
