EDUCATION IS THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL

Bombay Scottish School has a 175 year old legacy. Technology intervention enables students and teachers to research, collaborate and analyse while promoting digital citizenship. We ensure that the young learners not only know 'how to count' but are also aware of 'what counts'. The flexibility and freedom to design and lead various purposeful initiatives empowers our students to be conceptual thinkers, ideators and self starters.

Highlights

The best talented students in school are those who are passionate about learning, who are hardworking and dedicated, and who are always willing to go the extra mile. They are not afraid to challenge themselves, and they are always looking for new ways to improve their skills. They are also a valuable asset to their school community, and they are always willing to help others.

“I look back at the 11 years that I spent in Scottish with a tremendous sense of gratitude for the superb foundation that school gave us - by honing our analytical abilities and cultivating in us a strong moral fibre and liberal cosmopolitanism that values diversity.”

“Scottish has taught me to cherish love, to hate injustice; to respect kindness and to disrespect hatred; to learn and to unlearn. It’s given me friends to cherish, teachers to look up to. It’s taught me ideologies, faith in unity and confidence in self.”

“School taught me everything I know about discipline and teamwork, which is ever so important for a successful career and future. Representing the school was such a matter of pride — an emotion that runs in me to this day when I represent the country internationally.”

“The most important thing school and especially Scottish did is that it played a very important role in keeping us grounded. It never made a difference to the teachers, friends, the principal what your background was and who your parents were. The value system that Scottish instilled was so solid that it’s still keeping us rooted and grounded in an almost Gandhian way.”

“As one goes through life, gets married and has children, and then grandchildren, the memories that remain most deeply ingrained in one’s soul are those of school…Nothing makes you younger than being with those you knew you when you were actually younger, and that is why my best friends are still the ones I had in school.”
