The International School Bangalore (TISB) is one of the premier education institutes in Bangalore. It is a private school founded by Dr. K. P. GopalKrishna and is a sister school of National Public Schools, Bangalore.
The focus of the school is not only on academic excellence but also on all-round development of students. The students are mostly from rich NRI families as the fees is very high.
The other thing about this school is that their session ends somewhere in August so most of the Indian competitive exams are over by then. The staff at TISB said their focus is on getting students into premier institutes in USA, UK, Australia etc.

9This school should be your last option, and only as a last resort enroll your child in this institution. The management and administration are extremely arrogant, with their eyes only on your money. Has a notorious reputation in Bangalore for expelling students for the most minor of offences (untucked shirt, improper uniform), the fraternization of girls and boys is almost forbidden, and any interaction between boys and girls is punishable by suspension or even expulsion. While attending the school, one must constantly be on guard as to if they are going to be expelled or not. The teachers are arrogant, most having only recieved training in India, not a truly “international” environment like they claim. This reflects in their attitude, with little tolerance for children from foreign countries. NRI’s will especially feel this. Because you look like you’ve grown up in India, they expect you to behave accordingly, however this is not the case, with most NRI children growing up in western society, the transition is made more difficult by these expectations from their teachers. The entire attitude of the administration is as if they are doing you a favor by allowing you’re child to attend their school. Countless students across Bangalore are ex-TISB students, most having been expelled or asked to leave. One major reason TISB has high test results is because of a major scam. They will accept most students, regardless of academic achievement, up until 10th grade. Halfway through the year, before registering for their exams, they will expel the under-achieving students, so that their results in the June examinations will appear very good. As if that is not enough, if the administration catches wind of a child leaving TISB for another school in Bangalore, they will find a reason and expel you before you get a chance to leave. I’ve had close friends tell their children to keep their transfer quiet because of fear of repurcussions. If you plan on moving to Bangalore, consider Indus International or Canadian International as an alternative. You will regret sending your child to TISB.

10If not TISB, which is the next best school offering A levels or IB curriculum in terms of good education, infrastructure and a decent track record for undergraduate admissions to tier 1 / tier 2 colleges in the US, Singapore or UK?
