For many students, BIS is a home away from home and a family network for life. BIS places individual child development at the heart of its educational philosophy, encouraging active and engaged participation. Its facilities provide a safe environment where students can focus on all aspects of student development: academic, intellectual, creative, social, physical, ethical, and emotional.
