In less than 15 years, Bell School has gained a tremendous recognition. It has grown from less than 45 students in its first year, to well over 2500 in its 15th year, in 2007. This phenomenal growth is primarily credited to the highly commited staff team, the excellent educational administration by its management and the school's unique infrastructure and policies.

== Infrastructure ==
Bell School has an extraordinary infrastructure for a school in a small city like Palayamkottai. A vast, lush 10 acre campus with open squares and long avenues, punctuated by lampposts and banners welcome visitors. The impressive Black-Gold gates at the entrance weigh an amazing 770 kg, and were custom-made to resemble the popular gates of Buckingham Palace. A huge metal globe on top of the entrance signifies global peace that the institution spread during its popular Bellionize Interschool statelevel competitions.
The school has innovative Touchscreen Kiosks in the lobby for public, student and staff access. Photo Touchscreens allow students to view their photos from all events and activities and get them printed immediately. Montessori Touchscreens allow kids who had just been toddlers to use computers. The school has complete wireless broadband internet in all its 75 state-of-the-art computers. The computer labs of Bell School are one of the institution's highlights. The modern labs are equivalent, or better than most laboratories in other educational institutions in the region.
