A Message from the Chairperson
“At Bangalore International School, we are proud to be part of a community that has supported international education in Bengaluru for more than five decades. Founded by a parent who believed in creating the right environment for her children, BIS continues to operate as a parent-governed school today.
Our Head of School and leadership team work closely with the Board to ensure that students remain at the centre of every decision. This partnership reflects the shared values of care, connection, and community that guide our school.
BIS is an inclusive environment where every child receives individual attention and the opportunity to grow. Alongside academic learning, we value the role of the humanities, arts, music, and sports in shaping well-rounded individuals.
With students representing many nationalities and holding global accreditations such as CIS and Round Square, BIS offers international standards within a close, supportive community. For many families, the school becomes more than an institution. It becomes a second home.”

A Parent-Governed International School in Bangalore
Bangalore International School operates as a non-profit, parent-governed institution. This governance model has shaped the school since its earliest years and continues to guide decision-making today.
As one of the longest-established international schools in Bangalore, BIS remains committed to the principle that students remain at the centre of every decision. The Board of Trustees ensures that the school’s values, academic standards, and long-term vision remain aligned with this commitment.
Through thoughtful governance and close collaboration with school leadership, the Board helps maintain a balance between institutional continuity and thoughtful progress within the BIS community.
Governance with Responsibility and Transparency
The Board of Trustees provides strategic oversight and institutional guidance for the school. Its responsibilities include long-term planning, policy development, financial stewardship, and alignment with international accreditation standards.
This governance structure ensures that BIS remains accountable to its community while continuing to meet the expectations of globally recognised educational organisations such as the Council of International Schools and Round Square.
The parent-governed model strengthens transparency and encourages meaningful engagement between families and the school.
Partnership with School Leadership
The Board works closely with the Head of School and the leadership team to support the long-term development. While school leadership oversees daily academic and operational decisions, the Board ensures that these efforts remain aligned with the school’s mission and guiding values.
This partnership allows BIS to remain responsive to the evolving landscape of international education while maintaining the stability and continuity that families value.
