Legacy School, Bengaluru
Legacy School is a progressive K-12 learning community offering the full Cambridge International curriculum and the IBDP. The school believes that learning should be exploratory, student-driven, and reflective of real-world thinking. With a diverse and learner-centred culture, Legacy encourages children to question, collaborate, challenge old ideas, and build new ones with confidence.
When Legacy partnered with CIVOM, the goal was clear to shape learning environments that match their 21st-century pedagogy, support choice & agency, and empower students to take ownership of how they learn.

Legacy’s campus embraces a bold design philosophy: fewer walls, more openness, and spaces that belong to learners rather than confine them. CIVOM built on this vision by introducing flexible, movement-friendly furniture layouts that allow classrooms to breathe and transform throughout the day.
Writable surfaces, mobile tables, collaborative seating, and personal storage units were integrated to support fragmented study, peer collaboration, and teacher-student mentorship. Instead of static classrooms, multifunctional zones took shape - vibrant, comfortable, and psychologically supportive for young minds navigating complex ideas and projects.
This approach aligned perfectly with Cambridge and IB learning outcomes, where student agency, research work, presentations, and reflective thinking play a central role.
To support Legacy’s “free walls” campus concept, CIVOM curated layouts that removed the rigidity of traditional rows and fixed seating. Open learning studios replaced closed rooms, enabling students to move between independent research, group discussions, and project construction without disrupting flow.
Colourful soft seating offered relaxation zones for reading and reflection, while lightweight modular furniture made it easy for learners to reorganize their environment based on the task at hand. Teachers benefited from layouts that supported mentorship, continuous observation, and seamless integration of technology.
Individual lockers, writable boards, and child-first ergonomic elements created a sense of ownership and comfort, addressing social and emotional development alongside academics.
The result is a campus that feels dynamic, expressive, and future-ready — where design supports curiosity, learning feels natural, and students develop the confidence to think beyond the obvious.
