Elementary School

BIA’s Elementary School is dedicated to providing a challenging learning environment, which is child-centered, well-balanced and aims to develop the whole child. Our school is a center of creativity and joyful learning, with students coming together to learn, to dream and to grow.

The staffs that comprise BIA’s Elementary School – from our instructional assistants, to our teachers to our administrators – all share a common bond. We care deeply about each of the children that we have the privilege of working with, and it is that bond that drives us to do everything that we can to ensure that each child obtains a love of learning that will contribute to his or her later successes.

Academic Standards

Our Elementary School is dedicated to providing a challenging learning environment, which is child-centered, well-balanced and aims to develop the whole child. Our elementary staffs, from our teachers, to our instructional assistants, to our principals share a common bond. We care about each child, and it is this bond that drives us to do everything to ensure each child’s development.

When children are challenged on a daily basis, they learn how to problem solve, communicate their thinking, collaborate with others and develop as a whole child. Our Elementary School provides the challenging and nurturing environment that children thrive in and set sound educational foundations on which to build their futures.

Students are at the center of everything we do at BIA Elementary School and parents are important and valued partners whose involvement in their children’s education is critical to their success. It is our belief that when parents know what is expected at school, they are better able to provide the home support of learning that all students need.

Student Progress

The Reporting Student Progress system of BIA’s Elementary School is designed to give frequent and specific feedback about a child’s progress. Each semester highlights particular areas of a child’s growth and development. Each component should be viewed as part of a whole. The system, as a whole, will give you comprehensive information about your child’s academic progress, personal and social skills and work and study habits.

The Reporting Student Progress program reports progress in a variety of contexts to parents such as report cards, progress reports, and parent-teacher conferences.

Middle School

BIA’s Middle School believes learning is a process in which each student discovers and constructs meaning from information and experience. The individual needs, background, and development level of each student serve as the starting point for all middle school learning activities. In the classroom, the teacher functions more in a guiding, supportive role than in the role of the disseminator of information. Students learn interpersonal skills and the importance of community; they are valued and accepted, and, in return, learn to value and accept others.

Primary Curriculum

Key areas that the primary school curriculum address is on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, building a strong foundation in mathematics, an introduction to the subjects of science and social studies, a grasp over the second language i.e. Hindi/Kannada, nurturing an interest in the arts, craft, music and dance and also emphasis on physical education and sport.

MUSIC & DANCE

At Benson’s, music & dance is believed to be the expression of the soul. We focus on basic lessons of Music & dance. Our music & dance curriculum focuses on children learning basic dance movements as it enables incredible coordination and fosters close relationships. Students are introduced to both Indian and Western music, vocal music. All kinds of Dance forms like Indian contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz etc. are introduced to children.

ART & CRAFT

Art is one of the highest forms of expression, a language that we speak cutting through individual differences in culture and ability. Art brings every subject to life. Art & craft classes are conducted twice every week it gives an opportunity to express their innate senses. The Art & Craft classes provides every student an opportunity to explore his artistic side.

High School

The High School of Bensons International Academy is dedicated to fostering students’ intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development.

While we are committed to the development of the whole individual, we are primarily an academic institution. Thus, we seek to prepare students for higher education, to challenge them intellectually, to impart a core of basic knowledge and skills and to develop their abilities to think critically, to communicate effectively, and to learn independently.

Recognizing the diversity of our student body and the increasing interdependence of our world, we are committed to promoting cross-cultural understanding, global awareness, open mindedness, and tolerance of differing points of view.
