Who We Are
A hub of transformative learning
The Academic City School (TACS) is India's first career-oriented boarding school - a CBSE residential institution in Nelamangala, Bengaluru for students from Grades 5 to 12.
We were founded on a simple but radical belief: that 15 years of traditional education is not enough to prepare a child for the world they are entering. At TACS, we blend academic rigour with career exploration, Indic values with global perspective, and boarding-school structure with genuine warmth.
The result is a student who leaves with more than just academic success - with a clear direction and confidence to move forward.

Vision & Mission
Mission
To empower students with future-ready skills and character, preparing them to thrive in a rapidly evolving world while maintaining strong ethical values.
Core Values
What we stand for
Every decision at TACS - academic, pastoral, residential - traces back to these four foundations.
Career First
Every child should leave school knowing their direction. Career clarity isn't an afterthought - it's the entire architecture of our programme, from Grade 6.
Indic Roots
Grounded in Indian ethos - respect, humility, mindfulness, community. Values lived every day in the boarding routine, not just talked about in assemblies.
Holistic Growth
Sport, arts, SUPW, co-curriculars and LEAP - because the person a child becomes outside the classroom shapes everything that happens inside it.
Safe & Structured
A residential campus where every hour is purposeful, every child is supervised, and safety - physical and emotional - is never secondary to academics.

From the Principal's Desk
A welcome from our Principal
Welcome to The Academic City School, Bangalore, a premier residential school committed to providing an enriching and transformative educational experience.
At TACS, we have created a residential learning environment where students are encouraged to think independently, discover their strengths, and grow with confidence. Beyond academics, we focus on character, leadership, life skills, creativity, sports, and values that prepare students for the opportunities and challenges of the future.
With dedicated educators, strong pastoral care, and a nurturing campus culture, we ensure every child feels supported, valued, and inspired to become the best version of themselves.

Leadership
A message from our Visionaries
When we started TACS, we had one thought in mind: every child deserves an education that prepares them for more than just examinations.
Over the years, we saw that students often had academic knowledge but lacked the guidance, exposure and confidence needed to make the right choices for their future.
This inspired us to create a school where academics, career guidance, values and life skills come together. A place where students are encouraged to discover their strengths, follow their aspirations and grow into confident individuals.
At TACS, we are committed to building an environment where every child feels supported, valued and prepared for the journey ahead.
Every child who walks into TACS brings a unique story, a different dream and unlimited potential.
Our responsibility is not just to educate them, but to understand them, guide them and provide an environment where they can grow with confidence.
Through our classrooms, boarding life, mentoring and everyday experiences, we strive to create a community where students learn independence, develop meaningful relationships and discover their true capabilities.
For us, the greatest achievement is seeing students leave TACS not only as successful individuals, but as responsible, confident and compassionate human beings.
