The Modern Gurukul: A 2026 Admissions Guide to Tula’s International School

Every parent has a moment when they realize a school should not merely be a building where kids memorize their textbooks. Instead, a school should be their second home, where they develop their character, where they play and learn how to bounce back from failure, and where they first learned that they can support themselves. 

If you have found your way to this site, chances are you are at a crossroads, looking for a school that can give you the best of both traditions and modern education. 

Welcome to Tula’s International School in Dehradun, where we are proud to call it the Modern Gurukul. 

As you consider Tula's International School for the 2026-2027 academic year, this guide will give you all the information you need to know: Not only the "how to" of admission but the "what" and "why" of your child will experience at Tula's International School.

The "Modern Gurukul" Philosophy

What does being a modern Gurukul actually mean? 

The institution operates with both teaching staff and educational mentors who embody the traditional Guru-Shishya relationship. Our Gurukul operates through our digital infrastructure, which includes Einstein Labs, workstations and 24-hour Wi-Fi access throughout the campus. 

Tula’s gives your child the best mix of both worlds. After beginning their day with yoga, your child will finish it by troubleshooting code and debating international relations. The combined effect of our strong foundational values and high technological exposure is what sets a student known as a "Tulaite" apart from everyone else. 

Academics: CBSE Meets Global Exposure

Being a top-tier CBSE-affiliated school, we consider the central board curriculum just the baseline. For thriving in 2030, a student needs more than just the NCERT syllabus.

That is why global benchmarks have been integrated into our daily learning.

Instead of just studying English, your child will master communication through our affiliation with Trinity College, London.

Instead of just reading about history, they will actively participate and debate international policies in our Model United Nations (MUN) sessions.

We encourage students to push their boundaries through the International Award for Young People (IAYP), formerly known as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. This helps in ensuring that when your child graduates, along with just a marksheet, they hold a portfolio of global skills.

Workshops & Events at Tula's International School

A dull campus always results in dull minds. At Tula’s, the calendar is always buzzing. We don't just have events, we offer experiences that help develop character.

Confluence

It’s a carnival of talent and not just a cultural fest. Students discover their leadership abilities while working with a team and their public speaking skills when they perform on stage.

Chai Pe Charcha

Democracy starts in a school, and this initiative gives our students cabinet the opportunity to sit with our director over tea to talk about issues, make suggestions and feel heard. This gives them an understanding that their voice counts.

Film Festivals & Expert Talks

We continually expose our students to the greatest minds around the world by hosting international film festivals and bringing in authors such as Chetan Bhagat and Ruskin Bond.

Beyond Academics: Co-Curricular Excellence at Tula's International School

Some of the greatest lessons in life are not found on a blackboard. Students learn them in a game or during a team meeting, while competing with others and during times that require enough courage and the ability to work well with others.

Education at Tula's International School is not restricted to textbooks or a curriculum; it can occur outside of the classroom as well. While we pursue academic excellence as a very important goal at Tula's International School, we also place an equal amount of emphasis on providing educational experiences that develop a solid foundation of character, confidence and leadership.

Our dynamic student clubs and structured house system create an environment where students learn to take initiative, work as a team, handle responsibility, and celebrate both victory and defeat with grace.

Students develop their leadership and teamwork skills because our active student clubs work together with our organized house system, which teaches them how to manage responsibilities and handle both successes and failures.

The Equestrian Experience

Being one of the few schools in India affiliated with the Equestrian Federation of India, Tula's International School not only teach students to ride horses but will also teach them the discipline, empathy and grace associated with caring for them.

On-Campus Shooting Range and Archery

With an on-site Shooting Range and Archery area, we provide students with the ability to develop laser-like concentration that they can transfer to their studies.

16+ Olympic Sports

With the ability to swim in our pool or hit a backhand on the tennis court or learn how to defend themselves through Taekwondo, every student gets to participate in a sport that they enjoy. We do not impose fitness but we make it fun.

For the Creators

Members of "The Circuit" (Electronics Club) have the ability to create robots and gadgets, while participants in "Potter's Wheel" are able to work with clay to create different forms of artwork.

For the Tula's International School

The "Shutterbug" club will show student members how to take pictures and see the world from a different perspective, while "Raga Rocks" and "Vibgyor" will help to develop the musicians and painters of the future.

For the Life-Skills

Inside "Khana Khazana", students learn to cook, a skill that will develop into a passion. 

We don't want students to spend their lives just on facts and history. We want them to experience every aspect of life and learn from it. 

At Tula's International School, your children will learn, play and grow into the future leaders.

Safety & Security: A Parent’s First Priority

When parents send their child to a boarding school, they want to know if their child will be safe. 

At Tula's International School, safety is more than just a paragraph in a brochure. It’s a system, a structure, and a daily commitment that is included in the design of the campus, the residential life of the students, the supervision, the health care, and the way the students live their lives.

Here is how that commitment translates into action:

24/7 Campus Surveillance & Security Monitoring

• High definition CCTV cameras are used to monitor the following areas of the campus: academic blocks, boarding houses, hallways, dining halls, sporting areas, and all entrances/exits. 

• There is 24/7 monitoring of all areas of the campus to ensure that there is an immediate response whenever there is irregular activity. 

• Security personnel patrol the entire campus 24/7. 

The security is constant, visible enough to give reassurance, yet discreet enough to provide comfort.

Resident Wardens & Full-Time House Parents

In addition to the installed technology to support safety, the staff are what guarantee safety.

• Experienced wardens and house parents live on campus. 

• All boarding houses maintain their own structured roll call and attendance protocols. 

• There are supervised periods of study and preparation, which guarantees that students are kept engaged during study time. 

• There are regular pastoral checks that help monitor students’ emotions.

Students are always supervised and there is always a responsible adult who is not only there for discipline but also to provide guidance, mentoring, and caring for the students’ overall well-being.

Controlled Entry & Visitor Protocol

• All visitors to the campus have to be vetted and will have their identification verified before they may enter. 

• All visitors are required to log their entry and exit in a logbook. 

• Students can move off campus only with prior permission and will be supervised by school administrators.

The campus aims remain open in spirit but protected in practice.

Comprehensive Medical Infrastructure

Health and emergency readiness are non-negotiable.

• A fully functioning on-campus infirmary.

• A qualified medical professional is available to all students 24/7. 

• An isolation facility for those who are required to be isolated from others due to contagious illness.

• A dedicated on-campus ambulance to handle emergencies. 

If you become ill or sustain even a minor injury, we will respond promptly and professionally. 

Structured Daily Routine 

Morning workouts or yoga classes help students become fit, healthy, and confident. 

• Consistent academic schedules and curricula minimise idle time for students. 

• Supervised self-study to develop responsibility and self-discipline. 

• Evening sports or practices provide an outlet for excess energy. 

• Scheduled lights out to maintain a regular and healthy sleep cycle. 

Being on a fixed and structured schedule gives students a sense of stability and security.

Hygiene & Nutrition Standards

• Meals made from fresh and wholesome vegetarian foods, under monitored kitchen protocols. 

• Dormitories are safe, clean, and regularly checked every day by an administrator. 

• Attention to personal hygiene and grooming is part of the residential life.

Healthy environments reduce risk and reinforce well-being.

Emotional & Pastoral Care

True safety extends beyond physical security.

• Feeling emotionally safe is very important for growing children, which is why we have continuous mentoring from house parents and faculty.

• Open communication channels for students to express concerns.

• A culture where students feel heard, guided, and supported.

Because feeling safe matters as much as being safe.
