HistoryThe International School Bangalore (TISB) was founded in 2000 by the school’s Chairman, Dr K P Gopalkrishna, an eminent leader in education, and is one of India’s most reputable, independent, selective, international boarding and day schools. Dr Gopalkrishna is also the Chairman and Founder of The National Public Schools (NPS) which have become a model that many schools seek to replicate under his advice.
The first NPS school was opened in 1959 in Rajajinagar, Bangalore and was followed by further schools in Bangalore, Chennai, Mysore and following an invitation by the Government of Singapore, NPS International Singapore was opened in 2008.
Throughout its 18-year history TISB has delivered consistently high academic standards in both IB and IGCSE and strives to combine traditional values with a modern, global approach to life and learning.
From the Principal/Headmaster's Desk
'The breath-taking 140 acres of grounds and impressive facilities are obvious, but there is also a palpable feeling of ambition and sense of purpose among the students and staff you meet. In my 18 years of teaching and headships I have not come across a school that is so welcoming, academically focused and globally minded. TISB is certainly a unique co-educational day and boarding school and I am extremely proud to be leading it.
Our Chairman, Dr KP Gopalkrishna, continues to seek to deliver an inspirational and holistic education for all TISB students. As the school has grown over the last two decades, so too has the identity of TISB students. It is an identity built on intellectual development and curiosity, on independence and on the courage to be an individual. In short, TISB provides students with the capacity to be inspired to become the very best individual they can.
The curriculum at TISB is vibrant, demanding and progressive with the school becoming nationally and internationally renowned as a centre of excellence with examination results and college placements to be continually proud of.
Creativity flourishes through the drama, music and arts programmes and we have a reputation for competitive sport in many areas including cricket, basketball, tennis, athletics, squash and badminton to name a few.
Boarding lies at the heart of the school and is central to TISB’s identity. Our students are encouraged to see every day as an opportunity, a chance to develop and grow and a chance to ‘be the start of something’; their journey as a lifelong learner begins the very moment they start their journey at TISB.
Outward facing in all that we do, TISB’s focus on service, leadership and character education means that students leave TISB fully prepared to face the global challenges of adult life in the 21st century.
Please do come and visit us at TISB. It would be our absolute pleasure to show you around the campus which will allow you to feel not only warmth from the Bangalore sun, but also from the students and staff themselves'
