But, don't you think... too much strict rules will make our kids dull and bored? They need creativity to express their own feeling... Strict rules are for good things, of course, we all do know that.

In my opinion. I believe TISB is the best because as strict as they may be they are teaching the student responsibility and life lessons for the road of life ahead of them. Having gone to CIS and Indus I know both of them well and none of them know how to harbor different children with different interests. In fact many of the kids there are so arrogant and unprepared. Many of the kids are into drugs etc... Just A Forethought Hi, everyone seems to be constantly downing TISB and praising CIS and Indus. In my opinion.

Is the faculty and extra curricular activities really good and worth the money they charge? Is the child allowed to do creative work, projects and learn though practicals? If the student continues in India for the graduate study is joining TISB a good idea? Wanted to now about the middle and high school of TISB.

I have a son 13rs, who is very happy in TISB. And today I recd a newsclip re TISB being rated among the best schools in the world. If anyone needs any reassurances I will be willing to provide. It may not be a school for all, but the school is certainly trying to do what is right. Good to read your post Charu. I have a son 13rs, who is very happy in TISB.

I went to TISB for two years, and my overall experience was.... GOOD. I was challenged in lots of ways in my classes, and my studies kept me engaged in a way that really helped me improve the way I think. I was especially happy when I got good grades, because they actually meant something - I didn't mug for them, and I really came out of tests a step ahead in learning. I guess the aspect of TISB that I'm defending is the IB. I am not going to defend the administration because I don't represent them. Doing the IB is fun and rewarding in itself, and if at all you are considering sending your child to TISB, the soundness of the curriculum should be your main concern, and I think TISB addresses that concern pretty well. They DO put a lot of pressure on you in 12th grade, but that gets you results, so I don't complain, though I would never advocate putting pressure on kids in any kind of environment. I have had bad experiences with the administration too, but so has everyone else in my class at some time or the other, and they're doing fine in life now. In fact, they're doing WELL, because they learnt to deal with pressure from all sides. They didn't exactly learn in the best way, I admit, but they learnt all the same. That's my point of view as a student. =) Also, I did only the IB at TISB, so I don't know anything about the Primary Years Programme or the IGCSE. Or life at TISB as a faculty member. Hope this helps. This forum might in all probability be dead, but I feel I must say something to try and moderate this outright slander of TISB.

My experience with TISB has been satisfactory(not as friendly and forthcoming as schools overseas, but different strokes for different folk!), and nothing to complain about. My son's experience (8th grade) has been a happy one so far, and that is the bottom line for me.

My children studied in TISB and i should tell you that I am one happy parent. AT TISB they learnt to shoulder responsibilities i think far beyond their age . The suspensions that I heard of in the School were for reasons like "STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT AFTER ATTENDING A ROCK SHOW" withourt permission. The school is responsible for the safety of our children. Imagine if something would have happened to that boy when he was out all night who would everyone have blamed !!!! Go one step furthur and imagine if that was your son !!!!! The academic focus is tough on children no doubt but nobody gets expelled for bad results !!! My son is in Berkely doing an undergrad course in Music. He was just okay in ACADs but he is doing very well there. About INDUS the less said the better. The Principal of the School was involved in a controversy which hit the media widely and they are supposed to be role models for the students. Can't visualize my children ever in a School like that... But to each his own... My recommendation is if you have the money buy a Mrec and not a Maruti..... Hi Sanjay
