SCHOOL leader
The future is full of opportunities. We are in the digital age and now is the time to equip our children with the right tools and resources to be independent and confident adults. Giving a purpose to learning and allowing children to be thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers has been the guiding principle under which Billabong High International School has nurtured several achievers in academics & beyond. Everything we do at Billabong High International School is directed at constantly aiding children 'how to think' v/s 'what to think'. Our curriculum, academic and co-curricular programs and initiatives are designed to enable students to understand and apply concepts, creatively assess situations, analyze data, build insights and come up with creative solutions to challenges. I welcome your child to Billabong High International School – The School Of Thought as we prepare today’s learners to become tomorrow’s thinkers and leaders.
