Bangalore International School, or American Community School as it was once called, was started in 1969. In the 60s and the 70s, although there were hundreds of American and Canadian families living in the city, there were no local schooling options that offered a North American curriculum and instruction style. The only available choice would have been boarding school. And luckily for us, this idea did not appeal to Eloise R. Bennett and her family, the founders of BIS. On contract through the University of Tennessee for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Bennett family moved to Bangalore for two years between 1969 and 1971. Finding no suitable schooling options, they decided to open their own, and so the American Community School was born, in a garage on Millers Road.

Hi,
My daughter is going to BIS and she is in UKG( I. e K2). We have started since march 12. So far I find out very good parent- teacher communication. She is learning to be self sufficient , but helpers are there as well. Study pressure is not much. Other activitis like music, dance and tennis is quite enjoyable for the kid. Thinking to continue for grade 1 and so on.
