== History ==<br />
Founded in 1950, its creation was initiated by the efforts of the Indian community in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The school's board is largely composed of parents elected for three-year terms. It is one of the oldest Indian schools in Bahrain.<br />
<br />
The school commenced its journey with a headmistress and three staff members. Today, The Indian School is one of the largest expatriate schools in the Persian Gulf with over 13,000 students and a workforce of over 2077 members.<br />
<br />
The school is spread over two expansive campuses located at [[Riffa]] (LKG/JKG to 3rd) and at [[Isa Town]] (4th to 12th). The school has around 13,000 students and is one of the largest co-ed schools in the [[Persian Gulf]] region.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianschool.bh/|title=Main Page|website=www.indianschool.bh|language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the years 2008-2014 which was considered as the golden period for ISB, the school stretched both ways, almost doubling the student and staff strength and building a new campus in [[Riffa]] for lower classes and expansion of the existing campus at Isa Town. Before the Riffa campus, lower classes were at the [[Sitra]] campus in a rented building. Traffic issues at Sitra forced the school to shift to a much safer location for the students.<br />
