The Goddard School of Granger

Mr. Bhavesh (BJ) Patel Mr. BJ, as the children call him, is the onsite owner of The Goddard School of Granger that opened on October 4, 2019. BJ earned his BSBA in Accounting and a BS in Computer Science from Ohio Northern University. By the time he was 21, he had designed and sold his first software program to a large financial institution. After college, his childhood love for cars landed him a job on the retail side of the automotive industry. BJ moved to the consulting side of the automotive industry almost 15 years ago when he moved to Granger, IN, to work at a large CPA firm in the area. In that position, he helped auto dealerships across the world with their profits and performance. Between his first job to his current work as the owner of a Goddard School, BJ has worked and even owned his own businesses that have enabled him to work side-by-side with companies such as Microsoft, Route One, GM, Ford Toyota and even Tesla. BJ built this school in honor of his late wife, Monal, who believed strongly in the power of childhood education and who simply loved children. He wanted to continue her legacy by creating a place that nurtured childhood education and growth through the exploration and discovery of play. By building a Goddard School in Granger, he is able to keep the spirit of his late wife alive each and every day by helping children learn about their world and their personal interests so that they are school-ready, career-ready, and life-ready for the world that awaits them. As the onsite owner, BJ would like to extend an invitation to visit him and the beautiful new school building to introduce you to the eager and caring professionals working at the school and to tell you all about the Goddard approach to learning!
