Parents' feedback about our school. We provide an environment where we teach students how to think rather than what to think.
Being the parents of two kids, we feel that we are fortunate to have our kids in Bloomingdale International School, Vijayawada. The support that has been provided by the admissions team and teachers is immense in upbringing the kids. Our two kids are very happy to be part of the school from the beginning, and they are always happy to go to the school. They often inform us that they miss the school during holidays and weekends; this shows their fondness to the school environment. We can proudly say that we can't think of any other school that matches our expectations, in Vijayawada.

Parent of Dheeraj & Srilekha
Bloomingdale School has really helped our children to adapt to a real international environment. It not only focuses on improving my son’s areas of need but also really puts a huge emphasis on bolstering his individual strengths. My child has grown in a way that he never would have at another school due to this excellent individualized and warm environment. The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing, not only provide rigorous academic challenges, whereas the tools and strategies needed to meet those challenges. They are so caring and affectionate to my kid, which helped him to connect to virtual classes with interest. Be it education trip or food menu or any extracurricular activities or Project activities brought out the best out of my son. I am so pleased.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents want to know about academics at Bloomingdale International School.
BIS offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) — covering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Early Years to Grade 5, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 6–10, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for Grades 11–12 — alongside a CBSE programme for students seeking the Indian curriculum pathway. Both curricula are delivered with the same standard of excellence and commitment to holistic development.
The IB is a globally recognized educational framework that teaches students HOW to think, not just WHAT to think. Unlike traditional curricula built around memorization, the IB is conceptual, inquiry-based, and consistent across IB schools worldwide. It is designed to prepare students for higher education success while developing the critical thinking, communication, and research skills that universities and employers actually value.
In inquiry-based learning, students are taught how to find answers rather than receive them. BIS classrooms encourage asking questions, group discussion, reasoning, exploring multiple perspectives, and connecting learning to real life. Students explore real examples and real problems through interdisciplinary projects, multiple resources, and learning stations — not just textbooks. This builds the habits of genuine thinkers and independent learners.
Grades at BIS are built over time through projects, research work, presentations, creative expressions, teamwork activities, and continuous assessments throughout the year — not through one-day memorization tests. This approach reflects genuine understanding and the kind of performance that matters in university and beyond. It also means student progress is visible and actionable throughout the year, not just at exam time.
BIS MYP students consistently score above the world average. In May 2025, BIS students achieved 42/56 against the world average of 39/56 — a result that reflects strong subject understanding, research capability, and independent thinking. These scores are achieved not through coaching or drilling, but through genuine deep learning and the development of real skills over time.
The IB Diploma is a rigorous, university-level programme where students study 6 subjects at Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL), write a 4,000-word Extended Essay as an independent research paper, complete the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) philosophical course, and undertake Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) projects. BIS DP students achieve SAT scores of 1260+ out of 1600 and gain admission to top universities in India and worldwide.
Yes. Over 51% of IB graduates in India pursue higher education within India, and the IB is widely recognized by all major Indian universities. The IB also effectively prepares students for Indian competitive entrance exams. Rather than limiting options, the IB expands them — students can apply to universities in India, the UK, the USA, Canada, and beyond, with equal strength.
Yes. BIS offers a high-quality CBSE programme that integrates IB pedagogies and international perspectives alongside the standard CBSE curriculum. This gives students seeking the Indian education pathway access to the same quality of teaching, facilities, and holistic environment as IB students. Both programmes are run to the same high BIS standards.
BIS has modern classrooms with technology integration, well-equipped science laboratories (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), dedicated computer labs, a library with print and digital resources, language labs, smart classrooms with interactive boards, and a Learning Management System (LMS) for online resources. All spaces are designed to support active, inquiry-driven learning rather than passive instruction.
BIS students gain admission to leading Indian universities and top global institutions in the USA, UK, Canada, and other countries — including Ivy League and Russell Group universities. Collectively, BIS students receive international scholarships exceeding USD 440,000 annually. These outcomes come from genuine academic preparation, strong portfolios, and the research and communication skills the IB builds — not from pressure or coaching.
