Erika Christakis is a former faculty member of the Yale Child Study Center and the author of the best-selling book The Importance of Being Little: What Young Children Really Need From Grownups.

University visits to BIS commenced from week one, beginning with an impressive UK University fair. Followed by three other groups of universities, this early exposure to the application process enabled students to gain some valuable insights into how they need to be prepared for the colleges and programs they are targeting.
Ask any BIS student which event they look forward to all year, and the resounding reply will be MADD Fest! Forget Coachella, MADD Fest is the most vibrant and fun celebration of music, art, dance and drama, at least in namma Bengaluru! BIS students get extensive exposure to the arts through the year, and MADD Fest attempts to encapsulate the spirit of that year in art all the way from PP to grade 12. Our theme this year was Summer of ’69, and the Visual and Performing Arts Department began the herculean task of curating students’ artwork and performances well in advance.
Did you know that BIS doesn’t use a traditional school bell? None of that harsh clanging for us, thank you. Instead, a beautifully composed piece of music plays over the speakers at the end of each class period, and that in itself should give you some idea of how musically inclined our school is. If you want a clearer picture, and as the kids say, want your “mind blown”, allow us to take you through this year’s musical performances at the MADDFEST.

The Grade 4 students read different poems, from Emily Dickenson, to 'poems' by their favourite musicians and their teachers too.
They discovered that poems often make comparisons between two completely different things. Ever heard of comparing a head of hair to a piano? Or a voice to melting ice cream? Or loneliness to an island?

I am from the black and white coffee mug in my kitchen,
From the superhero and villain drawings on it that inspire me.
I am from the bright orange splash of paint that lights up my room,
The scent of petrichor that wakes me up.
I am from the Amaryllis plant that blooms every year,
The old hollow tree that is my ‘Terabithia.’

Right from when babies are in the womb, often parents begin to play music to their child. When the child is born, music is used in forms of lullabies to sooth and rhymes and songs are there to entertain, engage and interact. Infants recognize the melody of a song long before they understand the words.

Wellness is defined as ‘the state of being in good health, especially as a pursued goal’. Why is wellness important? Wellness is important because if we want to function successfully in the world we need to be well. If we want to achieve goals, we need all areas of health to be well maintained because if any one is diminished, the others suffer too.
At BIS, the children's health and wellness is a great priority for us.
