Billabong High International School, Thane (BHIS, Thane) is a co-educational school. It was established in 2006 by the Goenka Global Education, under the aegis of the Citizens Welfare Association (CWA).
In times when education is not just studying from the confines of a book, international schools have come up with raised standards of teaching. Not all learning happens within four walls, they say. This school in Thane is one of the best in its vicinity, known for its “learning with a difference” approach.
To offer world-class educational opportunities in the city of Thane, the CWA tied up with Kangaroo Kids Education Limited (KKEL) for Preschool, Primary and Secondary education. For the ninth and tenth standards, the syllabus is as prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). As a franchise school of KKEL, the Preschool is recognized as Kangaroo Kids International Preschool and the main school is recognized as Billabong High International School.
BHIS, Thane is managed by Mr. Sudhir Goenka, a leading philanthropist and entrepreneur with a deep commitment to the promotion of quality education.

Student Teacher Ratio
Class size matters as it impacts students learning while teachers can get to know each student as an individual. To ensure personal attention our primary and secondary section class size is 25 students on an average with a teacher-student ratio of 1:18. The Pre-primary section has two teachers in each class as our little masters demand more attention.
