Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
Student well-being and their intercultural learning and development is at the heart of everything that BIS does.
- Council of International Schools (cis)
At BIS, we are a close-knit international community bringing together more than 40 nationalities in an environment where we celebrate our differences, ensuring that every student feels at home and valued.
Diversity...
With more than 40 nationalities represented at our school, we appreciate and honour the unique qualities of each student. At BIS, students learn the importance of different perspectives and the power of inclusion. Every interaction offers a chance to broaden horizons and form connections that transcend boundaries.
Diversity is not only celebrated, it is carefully cultivated. Diversity sparks curiosity, encourages dialogue and guides us towards a future where understanding and respecting differences are essential for a harmonious global society.
Moreover, we acknowledge diversity at every academic level by providing tailored learning approaches to suit various student profiles and paths. This ensures that each student receives the support they need to excel academically and realise their potential.
Through both collaborative and project based learning as well as a rich PSGS (Personal, Social, Global Skills) programme, we provide opportunities for students to engage in discussions, to share their values and understand each other's differences.
Equity...
At BIS we believe that everyone should be treated fairly and have the same opportunities to succeed.
Our dedicated teachers tailor their approach to recognise and nurture the strengths of each student. Support is given to those who need it, according to their profile and learning style, to ensure equal opportunities for everyone. No matter where you come from or what your abilities are, BIS is a place where everyone gets a fair chance to shine.
Everyone Included...
We want every student to feel welcome and part of the BIS community.
To achieve this, we are committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment. We strive to accommodate children with a wide range of learning needs within the resources available to us. We encourage open communication during the admissions process to discuss individual needs and explore the best educational solution for each student within our school.
Our Pledge...
As an international school, we recognise the importance of preparing our students for a global future. Beyond imparting knowledge, we are committed to instilling the essential values of empathy, respect and understanding. We firmly believe that diversity enriches skills and competencies such as critical thinking and innovativeness. By fostering empathy, we encourage our students to consider different perspectives. In challenging our students to consider a variety of viewpoints, we teach them the importance of social interaction, equipping them with skills for life.
We warmly invite all members of our community to join us in embracing diversity and in promoting inclusion and equity. By participating in cultural events, supporting awareness initiatives or simply collaborating, we aspire for our students to embody these values as they explore the wider world.
