Meet Baloo the Dog

  • The inspiration for the name of the Baloo Academy comes from the founder’s dog, also called Baloo. He is a 3 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, whose kindness and eagerness to learn were foundational reasons for naming the Academy after him.
  • Baloo is starring in the educational videos we are using at the Academy.

  • The name Baloo has its roots in Hindi culture, as the meaning of bear comes from the Hindi word भालू , or bhālū, symbolising strength and perseverance, qualities that we aim to impart on all of our Students and Tutors!
  • Fun fact: Baloo the dog weighs 47 kilograms and eats half a kilo of meat a day, which the founder of the Academy diligently cooks for him!
