I think that's a bit harsh. Bangalore is fairly decent city with plenty to do. It is very different to other large Indian cities in terms of climate, culture and attitude. Stonehill is a fairly young school. It has had its share of problems, like may international schools in developing countries. I would disagree with the 'third tier'. I think it is certainly one of the better schools in the region. A new Director has been appointed who will start in August (Dr. Beverly Sortland - currently Director at American School of Douala).
