About Bangalore International School

In the 60s and 70s, there were many American families living in the city, but the local schools did not offer a North American model of instruction.

In the 60s and 70s, there were many American families living in the city, but the local schools did not offer a North American model of instruction. The idea of sending their children to a boarding school did not appeal to Eloise R. Bennett and her family (the founders of BIS ). They decided to open their own school in a garage on Millers Road which came to be known as the American Community School and later as Bangalore International School.

Today, Bangalore International School is an institution where global education is seamlessly integrated with positive social values, coupled with creative freedom that equips every student with necessary life skills.

At BIS we constantly endeavour to nurture students to become responsible citizens and the school's inclusive environment ensures that every learner is offered an exposure that goes beyond text books.

I was trying to call the school on several occasions but couldn't get through. I was visiting Bangalore for a day. Took a chance to go directly without an appointment but was totally denied by the person in charge. Just wanted a school campus tour. They could assign a person as a special case but totally rejected my request. Yes I agree the importance of appointment and their busy schedule. I was not even asking for appointment. They could have considered but they did not. Totally disappointed

Do not believe Sheikh Waseem’s reviews: he is a professional reviewer. If you enter his Google profile, he has other schools wonderfully reviewed and always gives 4 stars, like “hey, it is a honest review, why would I give 4 stars instead of 5 if I had been told to write a positive review”. If a school is so good, why does it need professional reviewers ? Makes you wonder.

Spent 8 years in this school, wouldn’t recommend the experience to anyone. To say the least, the school culture is toxic, teachers (with the exception of a few) are unsupportive and inadequately trained, administration is politicised and financially motivated. For a school that is supposedly international, BIS fails to meet any criterion or expectations. If you love your child, don’t put them through the misery that is BIS.

Dear Ms Pavani Dusi, I am writing this mail to express again my sincere gratitude for letting me register and sit for the AP Spanish language exam at your test center. I am grateful for your understanding and also for your patience during the language exam held yesterday! You went above and beyond what was expected of an AP coordinator to accomodate me. It was challenging to find a test center as language exams require additional resources and efforts but you and the BIS team made it possible. I am in debt to you for that. This exam will be important for my college apps and career in general. Quiero agradecerle con todo mi ser para ayudarme a realizar mi deseo de presentar este examen. Am looking forward to give the AP French exam next year as well with BIS!😊

Pls do not choose the school as an AP test centre for your ward.The cordinator Ms Pavani has unprofessional and unethical behaviour.She did not allow my ward to enter the exam hall with a valid Indian government document,instead she made us wait till the last minute and did not attend to our issue either till the exam had started. The whole year of my child is wasted preparing for the exam all because she could not agree to validate an clear orignal aadhar. This was extremely disappointing and suprising on how someone could be so rude and ignorant at the time of such an important exam. The way she spoke with a n harsh time and was not ready to co-operate has left me starled. Walking out is not an option to such queries and I do not know how someone could behave like this. Would not recommend such a school to even be valid as an AP testing centre.

My son has been attending school here for 2 years and for majority the period the guidance counsellor has been absent for her own reasons. Not only has she provided inaccurate information concerning the tests for the universities and their courses, but she keeps repeating the same basic information required for university entry. Just things such as good grades and extracurriculars are CONSTANTLY reiterated. In terms of middle school BIS does seem to have a good structure, however in terms the high school to university period I wouldn't recommend BIS considering the inadequacy of the guidance counsellor. Plus, there are no extracurriculars available that typical international school usually have, including sports teams.

Excellent school! Class size is small and lots of individual attention is given to each child. My son is very happy to go to school everyday. Teachers and EY coordinator are very professional, kind and always helpful. The curriculum is focused on over all development of children and I see my son learning so much in a very fun way.

The students of BIS who have been there since before very quickly make friends with new students. There are nice inter school competitions. Students and teachers at BIS come from different backgrounds, regions & religions of India and this sensitizes international students to India’s incredible unity in diversity. A lot of intercultural learning takes place while eating and nourishing themselves during the BIS school lunches.

No response from school. Only keen on collecting application fee. I have been following up since 3 months for Montessori admission. When ever I send a mail I just get a response saying- we will keep you posted. If you call on the number provided then we get a very rude response asking us to wait. No proper timelines are given.
