School managements all over the country are trying to bring about modernized infrastructures that align with student capabilities. In this regard, flexibility of subject choices along with a well-structured curriculum is making CBSE board one of the most accepted across India. However, despite the modernized framework, there is a requirement for such institutions that believe in education from the environment along with necessary textbook learning.

There are hands-on learning opportunities for students along with the polished curriculum of CBSE. We focus on sports and have both indoor and outdoor facilities in that regard”, stated Kalyan Biradar, CEO, BS International School.
