Bangalore International School is a private international school in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It was the first international school to be established in Bangalore. Bangalore International School, formerly the American Community School, was founded in 1969 by Eloise R. Bennett. In the 1960s and 1970s, although many American and Canadian families were living in the city, there were no schools offering a North American curriculum and instruction style. The only option was a boarding school, but this idea did not appeal to Bennett and her family. On a USAID contract through the University of Tennessee, the Bennett family moved to Bangalore for two years between 1969 and 1971. With no schooling options they opened their own school, and so was born the then American Community School in a garage on Millers Road.
