In this dynamic and ever-changing world, International Schools fully understand the need to evolve and innovate to provide the best educational practices for students. They seek to inculcate a holistic lifelong learning approach in them so that the young minds can explore their own inner world. This way they can grasp the outer reality and become future’s futuristic leaders.

The curriculum combines Western creativity with Indian diligence and thereby creates a universal atmosphere where the flame of imaginative and knowledgeable curiosity is lit. The era of a school merely being a stepping stone to college is over. It is essential to view schools as the foundation-stone for life. The best International Schools prepare students to be confident self-learners who can apply their knowledge to problem-solving in real life.

Studying at an international school will always help students embrace a pan-global perspective. International schools promote international topics of education, building a solid foundation of cultural understanding. Certainly, British International School is the best place to indulge in the simultaneous opportunity to study, where students are confronted with a new culture in their daily lives.

The British International School nurtures each individual student’s well-being, growth, and learning. It encourages the students to think independently, reason, create and collaborate through active enquiry. Through a positive and personalized educational atmosphere, each student has the opportunity to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, aesthetically, and physically.

Under the leadership of Smt. Gita Sharma, Chairperson, the British International School strives to help its students become global citizens with a lifelong love and respect for learning.

In an interview with Insights Success, Smt. Sharma shared valuable facts that highlight the significance of the British International School as one of the prominent educational institutes in the Indian education sector.

What strategies and programs does the British International School implements to provide quality education? What is its vision and mission?

British International School is an English language, coeducational school providing high-quality education. We are proud to be the first International Baccalaureate (IB) candidate school in the entire state. The IB offers high-quality education programs for pupils aged between three and nineteen.

It is followed by more than a million students in more than 150 countries. The IB diploma qualification is accepted at major universities throughout the world. Research from leading institutions shows that IB students are more likely than their peers to succeed in higher education.

BIS was established in 2016 with the aim of producing future leaders and creating an environment that gives the children the confidence to think freely, independently and creatively – skills which are going to be much needed in the future. Our school’s philosophy fosters respect for the dignity and worth of each individual child, supports equal education and opportunity for all, and emphasizes a free exchange of ideas.

We nurture the well-being, growth, and learning of each individual student. We encourage students to think independently, reason, create and collaborate through active enquiry. Through a positive and personalized educational atmosphere, each student has the opportunity to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, aesthetically, and physically. Overall, we strive to help our students become global citizens with a lifelong love and respect for learning.

We at BIS believe in fostering a culture of International Mindedness. We provide a learning environment that brings out the best and focuses on overall development through the joy of learning, awakening and emphasis on making the child curious, disciplined and reflective. We are dedicated to illuminating their intellect through a moral, spiritual, and ethical education, thus ensuring sound character, integrity and the ability to make them responsible and sincere to reshape the world along with positive and humanitarian values.

How do you plan to enhance the British International School’s readiness to increase engagement with its students?

BIS focuses on providing robust value-based education to the children, encouraging them to be morally aware. It has been the trend over many generations that teachers pass values to the students, both consciously and unconsciously, through their conduct both in and out of the classroom. Consequently, the need for a carefully planned value-based educational program is needed to support formal, knowledge-based learning. As a provider of value education, BIS aims at the development of following types of values:

  • Large Heartedness
  • Cooperation
  • Tolerance
  • Respect for The Culture of Other Groups

How do you envision the British International School’s operations eventually developing and nurturing the nation’s future leaders?

Knowledge has been the guiding force and beacon light of society. Every child is a unique asset to the family, society, nation and to the whole world. We promise to shape your child’s career to make him/her the global leader in society.

This project is an initiative which is directed toward providing scholastic and co-scholastic exposure to our students. In this way, BIS Jammu intends to contribute to the overall development of society.

We shall try our best to make our teachers ready for any challenge. We will make sure that our staff is trained to the fullest and that their skills get utilized efficiently. The school shall work day and night to mould the student into dynamic personalities, ready to face the challenges globally.
