At BS International School (BSIS), Electronic City, Bengaluru, success is not measured only by report cards. It is measured by the quiet confidence of a child who hits the bullseye under pressure, the spark in a young entrepreneur pitching an idea, and the pride of parents watching their children grow into complete human beings.
In late 2025, that spirit shone brightly once again.
Triple Triumph on the Shooting Range
On 31 October 2025, three BSIS students stepped onto the firing line at the Inter-School Shooting Competition held at Carmel Academy and returned with the podium completely occupied:
Shreshta – Gold
Smitakshi – Silver
Fiona Shaju – Bronze
The school’s official Instagram post captured the moment perfectly: three smiling faces in their orange team jerseys, medals gleaming, certificates held high. The message was simple and powerful — “A massive shoutout to BSIS students… for their incredible performance.”
These medals are not isolated victories. They are the latest chapter in a culture of excellence that BS International School has been deliberately building for years.
The Champion Who Showed the Way: Jonathan Gavin Antony
Still a teenager, Jonathan has already etched his name in Indian shooting history:
Youngest ever gold medallist in the Men’s 10m Air Pistol at the 38th National Games (2025), defeating Olympians including Paris Olympic medallist Sarabjot Singh and Asian Games champion Saurabh Chaudhary.
Gold medallist at the ISSF Junior World Cup 2025 (New Delhi) in 10m Air Pistol — topping qualification with 586 and dominating the final with 244.8.
Multiple medals at Asian Championships (individual gold, team gold, mixed-team silver and bronze).
Named Young Achiever of the Year (Boy) at the Sportstar Aces Awards 2026.
Jonathan trains at the school’s own Olympic-standard 10-metre shooting range — one of the few such facilities available inside a school campus in South Bengaluru. His journey is living proof of what happens when talent meets world-class coaching, infrastructure, and unwavering institutional support.
In August 2026, when BSIS celebrated India’s 80th Independence Day, Jonathan was the Guest of Honour. The same campus that once watched him practise now watched him inspire the next generation.
More Than Medals: A Holistic Ecosystem
BS International School was founded with a clear philosophy: “Education is for life, not only for career.”
This philosophy shows up everywhere:
Sports — 18+ disciplines including shooting, fencing, archery, cricket, football, basketball, martial arts, and more, backed by professional coaching.
Innovation — Drone Lab, Robotics, Aeromodelling, AI integration, and the Innovative Zenith centre.
Entrepreneurship — A real Startup Hub where students from Grade 6 onwards can pitch ideas and receive funding support of up to ₹1 crore.
Academics with purpose — CBSE curriculum strengthened by NEET and Civils foundation programmes from Grade 6, plus the pioneering Holistic Young Development Education (HYDE) curriculum — the first of its kind in India.
Early years excellence — The largest Montessori facility in Bangalore (10,000 sq ft), seamlessly integrated up to Grade 12 on the same 4-acre green campus.
The result is students who are not just exam-ready, but life-ready.
Why These Successes Matter
When Shreshta, Smitakshi and Fiona stood on the podium in October 2025, they were following a path already cleared by Jonathan and many others. Every medal won, every competition entered, and every personal best achieved reinforces the same message:
At BSIS, excellence is not accidental.
It is designed.
The school does not treat sports as an extra-curricular activity. It treats them as a powerful teacher of discipline, focus, resilience, and grace under pressure — the exact qualities needed for success far beyond the shooting range.
Looking Ahead
As BS International School continues its journey, the recent inter-school shooting medals serve as both celebration and promise. They remind every student that the campus in Electronic City is not just a place of learning — it is a launchpad.
From the youngest Montessori child discovering independence, to a 16-year-old standing on the world stage with a gold medal around his neck, the story remains consistent:
BS International School is nurturing leaders — one focused breath, one precise shot, one bold idea at a time.
