It is a school founded in the year 2017 with a mission of improving education beyond what is usually possible with the run-of-the-mill schools. It sought and to this day seeks to differentiate itself as a school unlike any other in the area and builds upon a vision of true excellence. From the world-class campus infrastructure to the methods used in classroom delivery, Indian School of Excellence makes no compromises in ensuring its lofty vision is fulfilled. The vision is strongly resonant in the minds and hearts of all stakeholders of the institution be it the facilitators, the administrators, or the parent who decide to join in this mission.
Indian School of Excellence was founded to improve the delivery of education in every way possible. To uphold this goal, it was realised by the visionaries in the founding team that the existing curriculums do not satisfactorily fulfil all the requirements to have fully competent students who graduate from the school. It was decided that to achieve the objectives laid out for its students, a unique formulation of different curriculums which are a result of blending together the best qualities and competences of the ICSE, CBSEĀ and IGCSE curriculums would be the most ideal. This curriculum is further differentiated in the way it is delivered by the schools very highly skilled facilitators. The curriculum is not just taught like it is in the textbooks but explored through active participation from the student.
Indian School of Excellence has a campus that is the envy of everyone in the locality. With a massive sports infrastructure there is never a time when a sports-inclined student is ever left without all the space and the equipment they need. The list of sports a student of the school can pick from is also massive. All the way from basketball and cricket to skating and gymnastics, there is a sport that is only waiting to be discovered by a student of the school. The laboratories, libraries and arts classrooms, are equally well-designed and stocked with the best minds involved in every aspect of the painstaking process of putting together these facilities. The open-air amphitheatre is a highlight at the school and is the common heart of the school. It is a place where many memories were made by students and parents alike during the many cultural events that were held there.
The methods used in delivering a lesson is very unique at ISE and is one of the signature elements of the school. The school subscribes to the 5E method of content delivery- Explore, Engage, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate. This method of learning is empirically shown to be many times as effective as conventional teaching and is a huge boon to students who are more effective learners through visual , hands-on or experimental mediums. The 5E method involves bringing an unknown topic to light through organic exploration rather than just an abrupt introduction of a foreign idea which students could care less about. The topic is "discovered" by the student and the teacher only facilitates this process of enabling the student to learn organically. For this reason, teachers in the school are called facilitators and not teachers.
Indian School of Excellence is strategically located less than five kilometres from important areas in Bangalore like Krishnarajapuram, Ramamurthy Nagar, Horamavu, Old Madras Road and Outer Ring Road. It is a top choice of parents looking for CBSEĀ schools in Old Madras Road Bangalore. It is located in an environment of no pollution with plenty of natural greenery and splendour.
