GUIDING STATEMENTS

Vision and Mission

BIS provides a caring environment, fostering cultural diversity. Our students achieve their full social and academic potential, inspired to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens of the global community.

Definition of Internationalism/Interculturalism

We aim to develop understanding and mutual respect within our community, allowing us to explore the beliefs, circumstances and values of all members' nationalities and cultures. We believe our internationalism provides better learning, acceptance, and a holistic acknowledgement that wonder and greatness comes from the diversity of difference.
