SASE — System for Alternative Schooling and Education
In a city where schools often sort children by ability, SASE starts from a different premise: every child is a unique possibility. Their Banaswadi campus is one of the rare spaces in north Bangalore where neurodivergent children learn alongside their peers — not in a separate room, not with a different label.
Community submission. SASE is an inclusive alternative school in Banaswadi offering individualised education from pre-school through grade 12 for both neurotypical and neurodivergent learners. Founded on a constructivist, learner-agency philosophy, SASE designs personalised curricula that adapt to each student's pace, needs, and aspirations. Affiliated with Cognia (USA) and CBSE. Focus on holistic development — mental, emotional, and social well-being alongside academics.
