I have been a student at CIS for over 2 years now and saying that the school is great is an understatement. When as I joined, there were many welcoming students, the staff and teachers were all super kind, and everyone was really helpful. Don’t even get me started on how amazing the campus is. it is absolutely stunning, and 100% worth the price. I love studying here, and I have no desire to leave. CIS is also extremely inclusive in terms of race and culture. I feel like I have no need to mention this by the way. Overall, CIS is an amazing exceptional experience, and I think if you are considering to put your child there, then you have my guarantee that they will have a good time.

My sons enjoyed their stay and time in school (Early Years) - they look forward to going to school everyday and sometimes even on weekends and holidays (as they do not keep track of the days) =)). That, i believe speaks volumes about their experience and i am very thankful for that peace of mind. I do believe the school is on the right track on adopting a holistic and enjoyable learning environment for children. I have perceived that there is a conscious and concerted effort by all the faculty staff in nurturing each child to their fullest potential. I would like to give a special mention to Ms Susan Raphael in taking extra care and consideration in shaping the behaviour of my elder son. The difference in his behaviour from day one to-date has been markedly progressive and positive. Her patience and dedication shows. My son will definitely miss her guidance and it would be challenging to find another similar teacher as her in our next country of residence. We also want to give thanks to Ms Rekha, Mr Pihlblad, Ms Ashwini and other teachers within his circle, for their patient caring for Tobias. All of them worked together to give a wholesome and holistic learning environment. As for my younger boy, we would also like to mention our deep appreciation to Ms Saira Fernandes in taking good care of him and ensuring an enjoyable daily learning experience at school. We will certainly miss the good times and wholesome social circle the school offers. Our sons will miss their friends and their kind teachers. However, there are work priorities and off to the next destination we must go. Wishing all staff and faculty well in their mission in nurturing the young. We will definitely come back to CISB again should we return to BLR.

CIS is nothing but called as Christians International Schools. Majority of the faculties are Christians and only you can see Hindus in supporting staff team. The main eligibility criteria to get shortlist in CIS is 1. Must be Christian 2. Must be Malayali. 3. Promote Christianity to Hindus. The institution is converted into church to convert people from hinduism to Christianity as heard from the local hindu faculties and staff. The management should intervene in oversee the selection process by the HR Manager.

I have studied in this school for over two years and the facilities shown are just a facade I don’t know how much things have changed now. First of all starting with boarding itself never listened to the boarders, the boarding parents listened to the students conversations and there’s literally zero privacy, The head of school who hadn’t even spent a day in boarding was the head of boarding as well and made rules that did not make sense, the students were never listened to there were Wi-Fi outages the food was horrible and even when the students did try and enjoy themselves in boarding there was always a problem that the boarding parents had, there were rules like no eating in the common spaces and more I can go on and go but all these rules were made just to make mentally drain the students, as a school it was still okay but would never recommend the boarding to anyone. The head of school should’ve actually stayed in the boarding rooms under those many rules, Wi-Fi restrictions and horrible food and bad hygiene to actually see what the boarders went through.

the school has no idea how to conduct an examination. they made the 20 or so students who came to write the SAT wait outside for 3 hours on exam day and then finally announced the exam was cancelled. Their grounds for cancelling it was that a covid test was required ALTHOUGH it is not in the college board requirements or was told to students when the students called the school before hand. All the receptionists said a test wasnt required. 0/5

School has a vey good infrastructure with classrooms, grounds and cafeterias. They have boarding students as well as day scholars. It is located approximately three km from the main road. Some uber drivers find difficulty to locate. If you don't have your own vehicle or school transport it is difficult to reach the school. Area is very isolated so it is not safe to walk in the late evening.
