The International School Bangalore (TISB) is a private educational institution located on Sarjapura Varthur road in Bangalore, India. It was founded in 2001 by Dr. K. P. Gopalkrishna, and is a sister school to the National Public Schools, Bangalore. Students of TISB take the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations at the end of the 10th grade, followed by a two-year International Baccalaureate diploma.

In 2009, the Good Schools Guide, a publication that surveys independent international schools in the UK and abroad, placed TISB amongst the top schools in the Bangalore north part.[1] In 2013, EducationWorld Magazine conducted a survey of 5,779 respondents including parents, teachers, principals and other educationists, and found that TISB was the best in the country.

The school has adopted the curriculums of various countries: Grade 9 and 10 pass out through the IGCSE Curriculum, while grades 11 and 12 complete the 2-year course in the IB Diploma.

TISB hosts an annual student-run cultural and academic fest, Vivum.
