School Development Plan 2023

School Development Plan

The International School Bangalore

Whilst TISB has an academic reputation, we believe strongly in the holistic approach to education and that each student should have the opportunity to grow academically, socially and emotionally Our desire is that our students will grow and progress throughout their time in school and leave TISB ready to face the future with confidence, self-belief and the ability to think of others

We must ensure that we support the development of each young person’s innate and still to be identified talents, ensure that teaching is of the highest quality, provide a culture that encourages humility and a passion for a life of learning

Throughout our student’s lives, especially after the pandemic, they will need to be flexible, adaptable and resilient; along with the ability to make meaningful relationships and seek out opportunities with confidence and lateral thinking Our future vision is to review and develop our curriculum, educational offering and the pastoral care of our community

The Indian context of TISB lends itself to a vigorous, academically focused and a school which sets high standards. However, we plan to communicate this benefit to parents and the wider community, promote smooth transitions between the sections of the school and give a real sense of a globally inspired and aspirational school

Our plans also include the development of the fabric of the school. Certainly, our newer facilities have supported the teaching and learning experiences in many areas, and we must ensure that our boarding facilities are commensurate with current standards

I hope that this document serves us well both internally and externally, maintains the long-held reputation of TISB, provides clarity for our ethos and values and sets up our wonderful school to face the challenges of educating global citizens of the future.
