Admission

The admissions process to lower prep at BIS begins when the child is three years old, approximately twelve months before the child is admitted to the school (at approximately age four). The website is to be checked for the eligibility criteria. The first step towards the admission process is the online registration form available on our website in July-August. Parents have to fill this form and submit it online, followed by the payment of registration fees. This is followed by form filling, where both the parents are required to be present at a given date where they come in to the school premises to fill up the form.
For admission to IBDP, BIS welcomes students who balance high levels of academic achievement and extracurricular activities to join its Diploma Programme. Applications for admission to the IB Diploma Programme are invited usually in the months of August and September. The form for IBDP applicants needs to be filled by the student and submitted along with the requisite documents and the registration fee at the IBDP office. Students will then need to appear for an entrance test. Shortlisted students are then called for a personal interaction with members of the admissions panel. Parents are made aware of the admission before the end of the same year.

An email can also be sent to [email protected] requesting for details on admission. The school does not entertain any phone calls for any information.
