The Bhavanite pledge says:
As the pupil of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Public School,I solemnly pledge myself to self-less service of my motherland and her culture. I shall consider no sacrifice is too great for the protection of my country and for the preservation of all that it stands for. Unto the greatness and glory of my land, I dedicate myself. It shall be my constant endeavour to realise the ideals of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, the basic principles of our ageless culture and to conform to the way of life prescribed by it.
The students are organised into houses, enabling growth of team-spirit by working together. The houses, named after characters from Hindu Mythology, are:
Inter-house competitions are conducted in fields ranging from literary to music and dance. A Prefect is in charge of the activities of the house. The responsibility is given for a month thus giving opportunity to each student who are predominantly of class VI and above. The Captain and Vice-Captain (both girls and boys), usually elected democratically by the student pool, shoulder the responsibility of the success of the house for that academic year. They are typically students of class X who are really very dynamic leaders who take the house forward.
