Miles Bronson Residential School

The school runs from Pre-Nursery to Class XII in three sections. Kindergarten entry is set at six years of age. Primary classes cover Classes I to V, with English, Hindi, Assamese, mathematics, environmental studies, computer science and value education, plus art, craft, music and yoga. Classes VI to VIII add integrated science, social science and a second language choice between Assamese and Sanskrit. Classes IX and X prepare students for the CBSE board examinations. Classes XI and XII split into science, commerce and humanities streams, each with a wide choice of electives.

The school presents itself as a home away from home and a community built on shared values, where enthusiasm for learning and a spirit of enquiry are encouraged. It aims to draw out the potential of its students through knowledge and experience so that they go on to contribute to social change and development in the region. Firmly secular in outlook, it values intellectual achievement alongside excellence in other fields. Leadership describes an approach centred on the student rather than the teacher, built around universal values, excellence, global understanding and service.

Teaching is split into primary, middle and higher sections, with digital smart classrooms throughout. Its Aiding Academy gathers specialist rooms: physics, biology and chemistry laboratories, a digital English language laboratory, a digital mathematics laboratory, a hands-on geography laboratory, a robotics laboratory, an infotech centre, an art and craft room, a music room and a learning resource centre. A digital online library offers twenty-four workstations, and a Robotics and STEAM centre brings science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics together. Sport is served by a swimming pool, floodlit synthetic tennis and basketball courts, a football field and a cricket ground.

Career counselling is part of the academic programme, with guidance offered as students move towards the Class X and Class XII board examinations and on to competitive entrance tests; the school publishes JEE and NEET results alongside its board results. Teacher development, value education and an Olympiad programme sit alongside the regular timetable. The campus is presented as safe and supervised, with security highlighted as part of boarding life, and students take part in community service and intercultural exchange activities through Round Square and AFS.

MBRS is a residential school and boarding is central to its identity; it has been ranked among the leading co-educational boarding schools in India by Education World and was named Emerging Boarding School of the Year by ASSOCHAM. Boarders live in five houses, Tsangpo and Subansiri for girls and Brahmaputra, Mansarover and Lohit for boys, all fully air-conditioned. The school describes a high level of boarding and pastoral care, and its boarding houses are singled out in national rankings alongside safety and hygiene provision. Membership of the Boarding Schools' Association in the United Kingdom sits among its affiliations. Day places are also available, so boarding and day students share the same academic programme and campus facilities.

Sport has a prominent place in campus life, with cricket, football, golf, swimming, lawn tennis, taekwondo, volleyball, yoga and basketball all offered. Teams compete outside the school: the under-17 boys' basketball team won the Inter-School Basketball Championship in 2026. Beyond sport, students take part in Round Square programmes, including international conferences, adventure days, fundraising and a global storytelling competition in which a Class VIII student placed third in the 11-14 age category in 2025. The school also enters national and international Olympiads in mathematics, science and English, and organises educational journeys such as a 2024 visit to New Delhi.
