A leader among International Schools in Bangalore

I always ask myself, what is the purpose of education? I feel that it is developing critical thinking, fostering creativity, compassion, imbibing the values taught by our motherland but at the same time learning to get ready for any challenge and equipping students to convert every opportunity into possibility.

I am very proud to say that our teachers are enthusiastic, well-qualified, and are highly motivated to empower our children with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, digital literacy required to face a rapidly changing world, and also to enjoy lifelong learning through excellent curricular and extracurricular activities. Our non-teaching staff provides a safe and secure atmosphere for each and every member of the FIS family. To meet the need of the hour and to maintain high standards of education, we endeavor to have a well-balanced blend of both technology and cultural values embedded in our FIS students.

For us as management, our students are at the center of our circle and we, as the last orbit of this circle, take care of our FIS family.

We at Freedom International School always try to acknowledge constructive feedback and provide practical support with a lot of hope and courage — that’s why we believe in our motto ‘Dare to Dream’.

As I reflect on Freedom International School’s journey since its inception in 2006, I’m struck by its remarkable growth — from 25 students to over 1,800 today. At Freedom International School, we believe that every child deserves a nurturing environment that fosters academic excellence, creativity, critical thinking, and character development. Learning is the foundation upon which we build our futures. Our mission is to provide holistic education that prepares students for success in an ever-changing world. We strive to instill in our students a love of learning, a sense of curiosity, and a passion for exploration while celebrating our traditions and culture. Through rigorous academic programs, extracurricular activities, and community service initiatives, we aim to develop well-rounded, confident young adults equipped to make a positive impact.

As John Dewey said, “If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” We empower students to become inquisitive problem-solvers and innovators, nurturing trailblazers and spirited individuals for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Education is indeed a powerful tool, as Nelson Mandela noted: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” I firmly believe that education is a partnership between students, teachers, parents, and the community. Together, let’s empower our children to reach their full potential and create a brighter future for all.

At Freedom International, there is an inherent and unwritten tenet that says to everyone, ‘Children are our first priority.’ This is reflected in every aspect of school life, whether it’s in the classroom or out of it. From day one, every decision we make together is based on this premise. The width of each step, the level of the washbasins, the spongy grass carpet below the climbing wall in the activity room, the rush to wipe a child’s tears away when she or he says ‘bye’ to a parent, the support staff who escort the children to the buses,  the quiet talks that a teacher has with a student who is facing difficulties in learning a concept or even the cheering and encouragement that goes on backstage before our children perform- all this and more shouts out loud that we care.

We have a strong professional climate and continuously improve ourselves. At FIS, we focus on thought and application, not on content; we endeavor to equip our students with skills that will foster confidence in them and give them an edge in an ever-changing world. We have changed and grown with the times, introduced exciting new learning opportunities and will continue to do so, but this is one aspect that will not change. Our children matter to us.

The students of the present have little or no use for text books. Schooling is a constantly evolving system. Knowledge is omnipresent. However, the development of relevant skills that hold good in the constantly changing educational and occupational scene is crucial and to be focused upon. We, at Freedom, encourage and develop enquiring minds that not only question but think, gather data, analyze, and process, and then find appropriate solutions. We believe in the progress and well-being of each and every student who has been enrolled into the portals of our institution.

Our Pre Primary is a joyful space where learning begins with warmth, exploration, and connections. We believe every child is unique, and our early years’ facilitators take the time to truly understand each little learner — supporting their growth with care and encouragement.

Through playful, hands-on, activity-based learning, we spark curiosity and independent thinking.
Our non-competitive environment allows the little ones to blossom at their own pace, always striving to be their best selves. We build strong, trusting relationships not just with our children, but with the families too, working hand-in-hand to create a nurturing foundation for life-long learning and confident transitions into the next stage of schooling.
