A Values Led International School in Bangalore

Bangalore International School is an independent, co-educational international school in Bengaluru, serving students from ages 3 to 18. As a CIS-accredited institution, the school combines internationally recognised academic pathways with a learning environment grounded in care, trust, and strong relationships.

Since its founding in 1969, BIS has grown into one of the most established international schools in Bangalore. At the same time, the school has intentionally remained a close and connected community where students are known as individuals and supported as learners.

Students are encouraged to explore ideas, develop confidence, and contribute thoughtfully to the school community. Academic expectations remain high, while learning takes place within an environment where curiosity, collaboration, and respect guide daily interactions.

The identity of BIS reflects a thoughtful balance between academic rigour and human connection.

A Caring Connected Community

Our Mission

A caring connected community

The culture of BIS is anchored in three guiding principles that shape everyday life within the school.

Care informs how teachers support students and how the school approaches learning and wellbeing.

Connect shapes how students collaborate, communicate, and build meaningful relationships with peers and teachers.

Community defines the sense of belonging experienced across all sections of the school.

These principles are not simply statements of intent. They are visible in classroom practice, school leadership, and the relationships that sustain the BIS community.

Our Vision

We care… for ourselves, for each other, for our school, and for our planet.

We are connected… in building the capacity of all BIS learners for deep conceptual thinking, competency in life-worthy skills, and the character to face life’s challenges, guided by a personal moral compass.

We are a community… inclusive of all learning profiles, welcoming of multiple perspectives, and engaged in a continuous conversation among all learning partners about sustaining and improving the quality of learning and life at BIS.
