Our founder, Ms. Lina Ashar and her team envisioned a world of children with vivid imaginations and colourful dreams, without the pressure of being 'just like the others'. They foresaw a future where each child could learn at his or her own pace, and still blossomed fully. A future where children believed in themselves and in each other, and cooperation rather than competition could be the approach to build new things and solve old challenges.
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
– Harriett Tubman

Let's see bigger dreams ...

The success of Kangaroo Kids preschool centres and the wholehearted support of parents and teachers became the foundation for a bigger dream - a dream to build a full-fledged CBSE & IGCSE school which would carry forward the vision and ideology that the preschool had sowed seeds of. A dream to initiate one of the best CBSE, IGCSE International Schools in India
Billabong High International High School was born.
The blueprint of BHIS was developed by education-architects who were passionate about learning. Their years of teaching as well as life experiences enriched the curriculum of the students for the ICSE, CBSE as well as the IGCSE examination boards. Going beyond the academic curriculum, the educators tried to ensure that Art, Sports and Music would be as much a part of the students' growth as Mathematics and Science. At BHIS, Creativity and Logic, right brain and left brain would go hand in hand.

It takes a village to raise a child - African proverb

The philosophy reminds us that it takes many heads, hands and hearts to come together to bring up a single child. The varied interactions that they offer to a growing child enriches them, and together they watch over this young being, as mentors, protectors and nurturers. This thought became the guiding principles of the BHIS vision, which over the years led to awards and accolades from the most trusted education boards and organisations of India. It also led an international chapter, as CBSE and IGCSE schools were set up in Maldives in 2009 Over the years, BHIS students have done their schools proud by excelling in various spheres, and have become achievers in their own right. Today, with 27 schools across India and Maldives, BHIS is humbled being considered among the best CBSE, IGCSE International Schools.
