BOARDING SCHOOLS’ ASSOCIATION OF INDIA (BSAI): THE ELITE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS OF INDIA
The Boarding Schools Association of India (BSAI) is a relatively new trade body formed by a select group of leading Indian private residential schools, many in the British public schools tradition. The organisation’s members are considered to be the most prestigious boarding schools in India with most enjoying an international reputation and celebrated history.
ABOUT
India has a significant number of boarding schools (often referred to as residential schools), many of which are state-supported to some degree or aided by religious orders. This reflects India’s large population and, also, its substantial number of rural communities that often are not serviced by local school options. In addition there are a huge range of schools catering to specific demographics, whether they are single-sex or offering education to the pupils of specific international community groups. Many of India’s boarding schools cater for junior boarding (i.e. primary school age children) in addition to secondary level boarding. With so many schools to choose from it is often difficult to discern the right school for the right child. The Boarding Schools’ Association of India (also known as the Society for Association of Boarding Schools), helps to address this being a badge of approval for India’s best-performing and most-selective secondary boarding schools.
The BSAI was established in 2021 and its founding members include: The Assam Valley School; The Doon School; The Lawrence School, Lovedale; The Lawrence School, Sanawar; Mayo College; Pinegrove School; The Scindia School; Sela Qui International School; Welham Boys’ School; and Welham Girls’ School. Since then, a number of other well-known boarding schools, including a number of India’s top-tier international schools, have joined the association.
The Boarding Schools’ Association of India aims to foster collaboration between member schools and to advance the development of the unaided, private boarding schools sector within India. The BSAI encourages knowledge and best-practice sharing between its schools, organises and hosts training and development courses for faculty and management, hosts conferences for member and strives to provide a cohesive voice for the sector, domestically and internationally. In these efforts, the BSAI works closely with sister organisations around the world, including, most notably the BSA.
The BSAI is a growing organisation with applications for many new members. As such, membership may vary but has recently included the schools listed below in addition to the founding members.
