• At Indus International School Bangalore we believe that craft-centered education creates a balance between theory and monotonous learning through creative stimulation and self-expression. We encourage folk traditions and local performing arts as a medium to sensitize students to the socio-economic problems and readdress notions of leadership to develop the cognitive, emotional and spiritual aspects. In this act, using handcrafted organic goat-leather puppets, our students have conceptualized, created and beautifully portrayed the story of Eklavya, Dronacharya and Arjun, showcasing the significance of teachers in their lives. #InternationalSchools #Leadership #Innovation

  • The introduction of drone systems in our curriculum can lead to the development of organizational and cultural values in students making them more suitable for future leadership roles. The applications of drone technology range all the way from mathematics to data interpretation to geography. We at Indus International School, Bangalore have created a skeletal structure of a curriculum wherein drone systems can be included and implemented. Our grade 11 students are giving a real-time physics lesson to grade 9 students through experiential learning. They have done a brilliant job in creating and demonstrating the operational implementation of drone systems, and we hope they reach even greater heights through this learning! #InternationalSchools #Leadership #Innovation

  • The Indus IBPYP Exhibition is the culmination of our students’ holistic learning journey. To educate the heart and the mind and not the brain alone, it is imperative that students learn by doing, understand the dignity of labor and the power of hands, not merely for production work but also for developing intellect and values. Guided by their teachers, our students have led the inquiry and have confidently applied a mixture of knowledge and skills acquired over the years in the PYP. Today’s exhibit was an amalgamation of this knowledge, understanding, empathy and intellect of our students that we hope will help them achieve great things. #InternationalSchools #Leadership #Innovation

  • The Senior School Indus Day commenced with the melodious rendition of the invocation song titled ‘Where the mind is without fear’. This was followed by the innovation dance and the address of the CEO of the Indus Trust, Lieutenant General Arjun Ray (Retd.) who discussed the significance of not only educating the head and the heart, but also the mind. The programme proceeded with a fine display of talent, creativity and skill. Through the Banjara Dance, the students celebrated the potential and the eternal wandering spirit in every human being. In the English Play, The Defenseless Creatures, students portrayed a series of contradictions in life which left the audience laughing and at the same time understanding the absurdity of communication through two different situations. The Hindi Play, Desh Ko Aage Badhao was a satire on Indian politics highlighting the corruption prevalent in the Indian political system. The chief highlight of the evening was the Jugalbandi where the students from Indus International School collaborated with the children of the Manganiyar community (of The Little Princes of Rajasthan fame) and presented a fusion of traditional and contemporary music and songs. As a tribute to the folk tradition and art of India, there was a special performance by the children of the Manganiyar community in appreciation of their culture and heritage. The show culminated with a musical extravaganza by the Indus Orchestra and Choir displaying style and resplendence through an electrifying performance. The orchestra played various pieces from the western classical world of music. The vibrancy with which the orchestra was conceptualized using different instruments, enthralled the audience who could only watch spellbound as the students exhibited their innate and developing talents through their riveting performances. The songs presented by the Indus choir left the audience mesmerized with their rendition. The amalgamation of musical performances, orchestra, drama and dance presentations was a visual and acoustic treat for all.

  • At 10 am on 24th January, 2019, four girls from Indus International School, Bangalore summited the highest peak of Africa and one of the seven summits of the world, Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 meters). It was a 10 day expedition organized by the school's “Peak to Lead” Team, from January 18, 2019. A group of 11 students, with six girls and 5 boys that perceived through a treacherous night-long trek. From humid rainforests to rainy grasslands to windy alpine desserts and finally the snow-capped peak, the Indus Eagles encountered various situations like climatic fluctuations, sub-zero temperatures and altitude sickness that pushed them to think quickly on their feet. The last leg of the trek, the steep climb to the summit which happens at midnight, not only tested the students’ physical strength but their mental endurance as well. After a long walk through the night and witnessing probably the most beautiful sunrise above the clouds, 4 Indus girls emerged on top. The group was led by their able leader, Mr. Mitesh Singh (Trainer, Indus School of Leadership), who was also accompanied by Captain Bijoy Bose and Ms. Harshali Varthak. Heartisest congratulations and salute to the following Eagles from Indus International School Bangalore and Hyderabad: 1) Sahaat Poddar; Grade 8; Indus International School Bangalor; Uhuru Peak; 5,895 meters 2) Geetha Damarapati; Grade 11; Indus International School Bangalore; Uhuru Peak; 5,895 meters 3) Saniya Patel; Grade 11; Indus International School Bangalore; Uhuru Peak; 5,895 meters 4) Prerna Agarwal; Grade 11; Indus International School Bangalore; Uhuru Peak; 5,895 meters 5) Agustya Singh; Grade 8; Indus International School Bangalore; Stella point; 5,758 meters 6) Anum Merchant; Grade 11; Indus International School Bangalore; 5,000 meters 7) Alysa Joseph; Grade 9; Indus International School Bangalore; 5,000 meters 8) Shriya Kamath; Grade 11; Indus International School Bangalore; Kibo Hut; 4,730 meters
