‘The school ethos is one of a warm, caring environment which focuses on student learning and their individual needs. Small class sizes enable faculty to get to know their students well and develop good positive relationships with them. The school is committed to providing a curriculum that is relevant to the needs of the students.’

- Council of International Schools (CIS)

'There is no doubt that Bordeaux would have been out of the question for us if there had not been an international school with English instruction. What we found was a little jewel of a school where children benefit from intimate peer interaction in small classes, attentive teachers who practice multimodal forms of teaching to cater to different learning needs, and a nurturing and flexible bilingual learning environment adapted to each child. The vibrant parent community also allows the school to not only be a supportive space for children but also for their families, many of whom are new to Bordeaux.'

- Sylvie Wald (Canada) Early Learning Parent and PTA President

‘There is a very good understanding between students and teachers, the quality of learning is undeniable, the family atmosphere is warm and the diversity of students allows an open-minded approach.’

- IGCSE Student

‘After 6 years of expatriation in the USA, and as much schooling in the Californian public system for our daughter, we chose to place our trust in BIS, in particular because of the daily use of the English language. Some of our friends and family, who have been through the same experience, have highly recommended BIS.’

- Middle School Parent

‘BIS offered a unique experience where I was lucky enough to meet a variety of people who were all from completely different backgrounds. BIS is a unique community that invites its students to share their different cultures which truly makes it a multicultural environment. My experience at BIS allowed me to make friends and connections with people who now live all across the world. Attending BIS is something every child should have the chance to do!’

- Louis Lubega (London/France), A Level Student (Class of 2019)

‘We chose BIS for the attention it gives to each child individually, thanks to the small class sizes, open-mindedness in an international setting, bilingualism and the development of fluency and self-confidence.’
