“We are thrilled that BCS is ranked India’s #1 legacy boys boarding school by EducationWorld, a market leader institution. This is acknowledgement of the entire school community’s efforts to continuously improve under all parameters of K-12 education excellence. Last year, BCS became a Cambridge International, UK-affiliated school, and now offers students the CISCE and Cambridge curriculums. Several of our teachers have undergone Cambridge training programmes positively impacting classroom pedagogies and student learning outcomes. Therefore, I am delighted about the high scores awarded to us under the teacher development and faculty competence parameters. I am also pleased with our high scores on the co-curricular and sports education parameters. Our students play nationally and internationally — our cricket team has the distinction of playing against Eton College, UK. Moreover, our top score for quality of alumni is very satisfying as our alumni are actively involved with the school through student mentoring programmes and scholarship grants” — Simon D.
