Admission process
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.

My both Children are doing good and reached our expectations with the support given in School. The hidden talents of our children are being identified, which made them confident and independent learners.

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.”

At Bloomingdale, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Sports and well-being and Life skills are taught too, which are essential for cognitive development and overall growth of the children.
Parent of Eshita
I am really happy with Bloomingdale International School. Bloomingdale has a unique way of teaching students. Previously they never had a chance to share their ideas or thoughts but now they are able to speak out and share their ideas in their respective classes. The teachers are very helpful. They even take extra care if they have any doubts or need help. Bloomingdale provides all the adequate amenities that help my children learn efficiently. I feel really good for joining my kids in Bloomingdale International School. I am so happy that they are a part of the BIS family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents want to know about joining Bloomingdale International School.
The admissions process includes completing an application form, a student assessment appropriate to the child's age and level, a parent counseling session, a school tour and campus visit, and a final decision and offer letter. Our admissions counsellors guide families through every step, ensuring the process is clear, transparent, and unhurried.
BIS admits students from Early Years (pre-school age) all the way through Grade 12, providing a continuous learning pathway from the very beginning of a child's education through to IB Diploma completion. Students may join at any grade level, subject to availability and the outcomes of the age-appropriate assessment.
Yes, there is an age and level-appropriate student assessment as part of the admissions process. This is not a high-pressure examination — it is an opportunity to understand the child's learning style, strengths, and readiness, and to ensure a good fit with BIS's educational approach. The assessment helps us plan the best possible start for your child.
The parent counseling session is a genuine, unhurried conversation. Our counsellors listen to understand your concerns and aspirations for your child, explain BIS's programmes and philosophy thoroughly, address every question about curriculum, facilities, and outcomes, and help families make a fully informed decision. There is no high-pressure sales approach — only honest answers and real dialogue.
Yes. A school tour and campus visit are part of the standard admissions process, and we actively encourage all families to explore BIS in person. You will have the opportunity to see classrooms, science labs, sports facilities, arts spaces, the library, and student support areas — and to get a genuine feel for the daily environment your child would experience.
Yes. BIS admits students into both the IB pathway (PYP for Early Years to Grade 5, MYP for Grades 6–10, and Diploma Programme for Grades 11–12) and the CBSE programme. Our admissions counsellors will help determine the best fit based on your child's learning profile, current grade, and your family's educational goals and circumstances.
Documents typically include the child's birth certificate, previous school records and report cards, a transfer certificate from the previous school (for students joining mid-stream), passport-size photographs, and any relevant medical or learning support documentation. Our admissions team will confirm the exact requirements during the counseling session, as they may vary by grade level.
We recommend beginning the enquiry and application process well ahead of the intended start date, as seats in both the IB and CBSE programmes are limited. Starting early allows families to complete the assessment and counseling sessions at a comfortable pace without time pressure, and gives your child the best chance of securing a place in their preferred programme.
At BIS, we believe in understanding each student as an individual. The admissions process is not a formality — it is the beginning of a relationship between your family and our school. Every step is designed to ensure that BIS is genuinely the right environment for your child, and that your family enters with a clear, realistic picture of what to expect. We prioritise fit over numbers.
You can begin by submitting an enquiry through our online admissions form, calling our admissions office directly, emailing us with your questions, or scheduling a campus visit. Our admissions counsellors are ready to guide you through every step from first contact through to enrolment — at whatever pace suits your family.
