BSF Senior Secondary School

Perched at Umpling in the Rynjah area of Shillong, BSF Senior Secondary School has been running since 1969 - making it one of the longest-standing CBSE-affiliated institutions in East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya. Originally established to serve the families of Border Security Force personnel, the school has over the decades opened its doors to the wider Shillong community, growing into a co-educational institution that now offers both day schooling and boarding facilities on a 25,000 square metre campus within the BSF Campus, Umpling. The school operates under the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, and is currently headed by Principal Mrs. Sarla Mishra.

BSF Senior Secondary School offers a continuous academic pathway from Primary through Class 12, with Science, Commerce, and Arts streams available at the senior secondary level. The school’s 2025-26 board results stand out clearly - Class X students recorded a 100% pass rate, while Class XII students achieved a 97.9% pass rate, figures that reflect the consistency of academic preparation across both school-leaving examinations. The CBSE curriculum is delivered in English medium across all classes, and the school’s structured academic programme runs alongside a co-curricular calendar suited to the boarding and day-school format.

The 25,000 square metre campus at Umpling provides the physical space for both academic and residential life, with facilities supporting Science, Commerce, and Arts streams at the Class 11 and 12 level. As a best school in Shillong that combines day schooling with residential options, BSF Senior Secondary School draws students from across Shillong and nearby parts of Meghalaya. The boarding facility makes it a practical option for families from areas where daily commute to the city is not feasible, while day scholars from Umpling, Rynjah, and surrounding localities form a significant part of the student body.

Class XI admissions are advertised on the school’s official website each year, and parents are advised to check current admission dates directly with the school.
