Global Indian International School (GIIS)
Talking about international schools in bangalore, or rather even the best cbse school in bangalore, GIIS has got to top the list. It has campuses in 7 different major countries like Thailand, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE and Japan. It offers the CBSE and the GMP for pre-primary years. GMP is one of their unique curriculum and is called the Global Montessori Plus programme which is designed for nursery children by concocting the Montessori methods with modern means.
They also follow an award winning holistic development framework of education called the 9GEMS™ holistic development framework which improves the personality of students by tweaking areas like Academic excellence, Sports excellence, Visual & Performing arts, Personality Development, Innovation & Creativity, Entrepreneurship & Leadership, Universal values & Ethics, Community & Care and Skill Development.
Inventure Academy
It was established by the India Learning Foundation in 2005 and is now the #1 school in Karnataka. It offers both ICSE and international boards like IGCSE. An Adventurer is supposed to excel anywhere in the world and this is the level that the school aspires to reach with its students.
To talk about facilities means talking Inventure. Its boundaries are unlimited when it comes to co curricular activities. They have an area called the Maker Space, Design & Tech Studio which has 3D printing equipment along with other related tools. A highly dedicated Art Studio which fulfils the need for multiple styles and genres. A Music studio and a dance studio; Inventure also boasts of a Soccer Field with Artificial Turf, a swimming pool with attached changing rooms and a smaller toddlers pool, 5 tennis courts, Cricket Nets with practice pitches, a Gym, an Athletics Field, a Basketball Court, a peaceful Yoga Gazebo and Preschool Play area.
Canadian International School
CIS is a unique school among international schools in bangalore that offers hands-on educational experience that operates away from the classroom though its multi-varied events and activities. It is also the only school to offer a 1:1 device to student ratio when it comes to iPads and is officially recognised by Apple as a member school. Along with the integration of all other facilities like a swimming pool or sports centres they also boast of a huge performing arts centre called The Odeum that houses all sorts of instruments. They also offer state of the art boarding facilities. CIS also officiates the workings of an inter-school activities conference called the Bangalore Activities and Athletics School Conference (BAASC). This also has a core group of 4 other schools. Apart from this, it is also a member of FOBISIA, that is the Federation of British International Schools in Asia which helps expose students to more events.
The International School Bangalore (TISB)
Located in South Bangalore, and founded in 2000, this international school is quite famous in Bangalore simply because of its name and its 140 acre, sprawling campus. The core values at TISB are Respect, Acceptance & Equality, Collaboration and Honesty. Its primary facilities are Art, Aviation, Ballet, Chess, Coding, Contemporary, Dance, Craft, Debating, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Fencing, First Aid, French, Indian Kathak Dance, Karate, Math Club, Music, Newspaper Club, Photography, Robotics, Shooting, Sports, Tabla, Trinity Speech & Drama along with Yoga.
TISB also hosts an annual three-day MUN event in December that is attended by around 40 schools across the country and approximately 500+ students. There is a lot of knowledge that a Model United Nations session gives to any participant making them globally aware citizens of the world.
The above mentioned schools are absolutely ideal when it comes to getting an idea of how international schools are like. I do not think that one should avoid International schools because of their comparatively high fees because a number of them like GIIS have scholarship options which are often fully funded as well. You must try out all options before taking a stand against it due to monetary issues.
