Stories from Our Students

Mihika Sankuratri

Yuvraj Shabarinath Boggaram

Niharika Dusi

EISB Batch 2024

For 10 years, EISB has been my home, and it's been instrumental in my growth. Moving from the United States, the school made my transition to India smooth and welcoming. I value the faculty's encouragement of new ideas, highlighted by our organisation of India's first high school Mock Trial Competition and the “Rhapsody” cultural event. My college counsellor's continuous support, from essay guidance to morale-boosting, has been invaluable. As EISB’s head girl, I am proud to represent this school and cherish every moment of my journey.

Throughout my 14-year journey at EISB, the school has been like a second home. My experience has been enriched with valuable opportunities. The IBDP program became manageable thanks to the skilled IB faculty and their support in our transition from IGCSE. Our counsellor helped us select suitable courses and colleges, leading to my proud offers from prestigious UK universities, including the University of Bristol. My dream university, University College London, represents an aspiration that, if realized with an offer, would stand as a testament to EISB's commitment to nurturing its students and encouraging them to reach their fullest potential.

In the IBDP at EISB, the curriculum is seamlessly woven into the school's ethos, enhancing our learning journey. We're nurtured to be innovative thinkers, with the school backing unique initiatives like India's first school Mock Trial. The faculty, attuned to our perspectives, effectively nurtures our strengths and addresses our weaknesses. The invaluable guidance from our college counsellor in choosing suitable universities is a testament to EISB's unmatched support. I've received considerable aid in applying for US scholarships and admissions to prestigious film schools, thanks to EISB's unwavering backing.

Ritthick Thiagarajan

EISB Batch 2023

Hi, I'm Kushi, 2nd year student of IB Diploma at EISB, where I have been studying for over a decade. The nurturing faculty here have greatly supported my academic and extracurricular growth. Thanks to the exceptional College Counseling Department at EISB, I have gained admission to top universities, including UCLA, Boston University (with a $100,000 scholarship), Northeastern University, and UC San Diego in the US; the University of Manchester and the University of Edinburgh in the UK; and in Canada, to the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, with several of these offering substantial scholarships.

Hello, I'm Ishan Nair, part of the 2023 graduating class. As head boy and student council member, I've developed leadership, public speaking, and communication skills through organizing events and assisting staff. Leading a Python club, I've honed my technical skills and played for our champion football team. My IB experience at EISB, especially through the CAS program, has strengthened my collaboration, communication, risk-taking, and time management skills. I've organized a successful fundraiser, raising 7,000 rupees for charity. With EISB's excellent college counselling, I've gained admission to top universities like the University of Michigan, University of Southampton, UC San Diego, and Purdue University.

The college placement at EISB was exceptionally efficient. Starting from DP1, we had access to vital resources and regular counselling sessions for college selection and application. We gained exposure to various universities and courses through college visits from Canada, the USA, UK, and India, and university fairs, enriching our understanding of different programs and finances. Networking with college representatives and peers proved invaluable. Additionally, EISB's partnership with CIALFO, a unified college application portal, made our application process more streamlined and organized.
