About Bardiya International School & Junior College (CBSE)

“Building futures rooted in values, powered by knowledge.”

Nestled in the serene rural heartland of Bodwad, Bardiya International School & Junior College (CBSE) is more than just an institution—it is a vision brought to life with love, purpose, and a deep commitment to transforming education in rural Maharashtra. Founded in 2016 by the Swa Shantilalji Lakhichandji Bahuudeshiya Sanstha, the school stands as a beacon of hope and progress for children in and around Jalgaon district.

With CBSE Affiliation No. 1130785 and School Code 30714, BIS holds the honour of being the first CBSE-affiliated school in the rural region of Bodwad Taluka, providing global-standard education with deep Indian roots.

Our Founding Vision

The seeds of Bardiya International School were sown by Shri Arvind Shantilalji Bardiya, a respected industrialist with a profound belief in education as a tool for socio-economic upliftment. He envisioned a school that could offer the children of farmers, labourers, and underserved communities a chance to dream bigger—by giving them access to high-quality education, exposure to modern learning tools, and a foundation built on cultural pride.

Today, this vision is a thriving reality. The school has gained rapid recognition across the region for its commitment to academic excellence, moral values, and all-round student development.

Our Academic Excellence

Education at BIS is not confined to textbooks. It is a journey of discovery and transformation. The curriculum from Class Nursery to X is aligned with CBSE guidelines and delivered by a team of highly qualified, passionate educators. The school boasts a 100% result for the first CBSE Class X batch (2021-22), setting a proud benchmark in the region.

Subjects are taught using innovative methods, smart classrooms, interactive content, and project-based learning. Regular assessments, Olympiads, competitions, and field experiences make the learning process dynamic and practical.

Holistic Development with Indian Values

What truly distinguishes BIS is its emphasis on value-based holistic education. Rooted in Indian culture, students engage in shloka chanting, yoga, meditation, and moral education alongside their academics. The school’s nurturing environment cultivates discipline, integrity, empathy, and resilience.

From clay modelling and rangoli to debates, coding, and robotics—students are encouraged to explore every facet of their personality. Arts and crafts, vocal and instrumental music, dance, dramatics, and sports form an integral part of school life.

Each child is expected to master at least one sport or skill by the time they graduate—a principle grounded in the belief that true education develops the body, mind, and soul.
