  The British School , Panchkula, has grown in size and stature over the last seven years. It has lived upto the School Motto, ” Towards beginning of success” ‘ We can say with confidence ‘ We can face the world today, we can make the world today.’ The school offers a stimulating, secular environment with high quality facilities for learning and teaching. Equal importance is given to social and leisure activities which help the students to shape as dynamic adults, possessing strong character and high principles. It has therefore become imperative that children be empowered with cognitive and experimental skills that would help them to be global citizens and overcome the challenges of tomorrow. Today’s students must learn a new set of skills, ensuring that they can embrace interconnected concepts, think independently, work collaborately, act decisively, communicate unambiguously and influence positively. These are the benefits a global education offers.

  We would like to thank all the parents and teachers who have unconditionally reposed faith in our institution through its formative years, supporting us through thick and thin as we expanded, evolved and excelled. Most of all, the love and affection of our students has been the most rewarding and fulfilling experience as we have nurtured them bloom. They have grown exotically with the school, bringing laurels in various academic and sporting events. We take immense pride in mentoring their keen intellect and boundless energy in shaping them as bright citizens of tomorrow.

  Together Everyone Achieves More!

  Dear Parents

  I extend my warm greetings and felicitations for choosing The British School for your child. The University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), which offers the renowned international ‘A’ level qualification, is creating a new ‘Indian Studies’ syllabus.

  “We want it to be relevant both locally and internationally.” The consultant will meet representatives of the Indian schools affiliated to the CIE to discuss what the new syllabus should include. The international body is also collaborating with the Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi to create the new courses. The new syllabus will be offered at the IGCSE level, equivalent to Standard X, from 2010-2011. It will introduce students to Indian history, culture, geography, environment and development and teach them to examine different interpretations of historical events. While it will cater to the growing Indian clientiele opting for an international quality education, the new course is also aimed at Indian expatriates in the UK and around the world. In fact, the Singapore educational system, with its large Indian population, has shown a lot of interest in the new course.

  You will enjoy seeing your child having rich, fulfilling and happy years of Learning experience at The British School

  Dear Parents

  I extend my warm greetings and felicitations for choosing The British School for your child. Through the framework of the IGCSE Curriculum it offers a sound educational programme in an atmosphere which is challenging, stimulating and creative. It enables students to meet their full academic potential and adapt socially throughout the world.

  The Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) is a revolutionary education system which aids identification of a student’s strength and weakness and can be used to support learning and development. It helps students to participate rather than cram what they are being taught. Low pupil-teacher ratio and specialist teaching throughout the school ensure that all students get individual attention. This school serves as a ongenial environment, a second home where the child receives love, care and guidance of a teacher, considerable freedom to play and develop at his/her own pace, and evolve his/her social kills.

  The child learns through play by the unique technique of “Anytime Anywhere Learning” and more importantly works on all round development in a manner that sustains the interest of the child, challenges him/her to do more and gives him/herself a sense of achievement therefore building self-confidence. You will enjoy seeing your child having a rich, fulfilling and happy years of Learning Experience at TBS.

  Dear Parents

  Schools of the 21st century will turn from buildings into nerve centres, with walls that are porous and transparent; they will be connecting teachers, students and the community, to the wealth of knowledge that exist in the world. At The British School success is defined as having the knowledge base, skills and attitudes to lead a fulfilled life and effectively engage in multiple adult roles.Today, India is poised as a global leader in many spheres. Many countries are looking at how

  India is handling different international issues. The need of the hour regarding the school in India (which is where all growth begins), is how to heighten professionalism on one hand while enhancing competency on the other.

  The British School is providing an important step in the right direction.

  With best wishes.
