TISB has a thriving boarding community which makes up a quarter of our pupils, some of whose parents live abroad and some who live in Bangalore but choose to board. Boarding at TISB is a great way to take advantage of all that the School has to offer, both from an academic point of view as well as the numerous clubs and activities on offer after the school day. Boarding at TISB starts from Grade 6 onwards.
Boarders live in one of three boarding houses, each one being staffed by experienced House staff with the boarding houses rapidly becoming a happy home-away-from-home and fellow boarders becoming an extended family. Boarders are encouraged to achieve their true potential and develop valuable skills and qualities such as communication, teamwork, leadership, empathy and cultural understanding.
In the boarding community at TISB we maintain an open environment of mutual trust with each boarder and member of staff being treated with respect and as an individual. Strong community values are nurtured regardless of age, race, religion or social background. Boarders are encouraged to take care of each other and their ‘home’ and respect each person’s right to privacy. Of equal importance is the recognition that each person is unique and a development of individual talents is positively encouraged.
Junior Boys International House
In JBIH we aim to make boarding fun, safe, rewarding and provide many opportunities for developing independence and increasing maturity. It is a place where firm friendships are forged and where boys are supported fully through emotional, physical and personal challenges by caring and dedicated staff.
Boys will be encouraged to complete homework and aspire to do the best they can in their studies, as well as exert their excess energy on the sports field or other co-curricular activity. JBIH provides an environment that allows boys to flourish in a supportive and cared for environment.
Boys International House
Boys in BIH are encouraged to achieve to the best of their ability and combine that with a healthy approach to sport and co-curricular activities. House staff aim to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment, allowing the boys to extend their intellectual and emotional development in an atmosphere of positive encouragement.
Communal spaces are available for the boys to socialise and relax when they are not out on the sports field or engaged in an academic enrichment activity. Responsibility and leadership is encouraged to ensure that the boys are well-prepared for their life beyond TISB.
Girls International House
The Girls’ International Boarding House is situated in a leafy quiet area of the campus and radiates a friendly and warm atmosphere. Girls are able to dedicate time to their studies as well as participate in numerous co-curricular activities on offer, ranging from aviation and basketball, to entrepreneurship and contemporary dance.
Boarding in GIH enables girls to have fun, try new things, make choices that matter and take responsibility for themselves. Through boarding they are given the tools to learn how to be more resilient and prepare to face life after school. GIH stands out for providing girls with a unique combination of healthy aspiration and rigour with a homely environment created and sustained by students and staff alike.
