Awarded the “Best preschool of the Year” for its premium infrastructure, Dnyanshanti K-12 School is the most recent addition to the D.Y. Patil education campus at Akurdi.

The school building is designed to incorporate, both traditional and contemporary learning tools to create a conducive environment for the new-age learners. It accommodates classrooms, computer labs, science, art and music rooms, along with a cafeteria, and other administrative and support spaces for around 1200 students.

This six-storey building occupies a triangular footprint on the site, with one edge parallel to the main street. The entrance of the school addresses the circular approach road at the periphery of the playground, a facility that Dnyanshanti shares with other schools on the campus. The windows on the front facade are taken in at an angle from the wall, cutting the direct sunlight and providing protection from frequent rains without employing large overhangs.
