Acharya Vidya Kula (AVK) is fostered by a trust registered in Mysore, India (No. 606/96-97). The Indian Council for School Certificate (ICSE) curriculum was adopted because its syllabus is regularly updated to make it relevant to the times. AVK is the only school in Mysore which prepares, encourages and allows students to take the Xth class ICSE examination in the arts. Some of its past students have become students of architecture.
