To remain relevant, the education business generally has to be dynamic in balancing its profitable status and fulfilling the social purpose i.e. national education mission and vision. This phenomenon raised the question on how to remain relevant and sustain in education business for international school? The suitable and in time strategies have to be actively reviewed and placed to compete in the education business market without jeorpardising the social economic mission and vision. Among the important areas taken care by international school like BBIS are financial sustainability, full fledge facility, high quality teachers and teaching, interesting syllabus and curriculum, effective marketing strategy and assuring low staff turnover.
