British International School provides a happy, nurturing, caring and secure environment where each student is helped to feel equally important and is encouraged to achieve his or her maximum potential in all aspects of school life.
The personal and social development of our students underpins all teaching and learning activities at BIS where we:
- encourage personal responsibility by developing self-awareness, self-esteem and self-confidence
- encourage tolerance, respect and sensitivity towards others
- provide guidance to help them make informed decisions, live healthy lives and deal with the moral, social and cultural issues they will face as they approach adulthood
- and promote an understanding of the global society in which we live
We recognise the importance of the home/school partnership to successful education. Parents must become actively involved in their child's learning. To achieve this both the school and the parents need to:
- have open communications about what the school is trying to achieve, have a shared vision and share information about what is being taught and how policies are put into practice
- share current events and news through the BIS Newsletter and through our website
- and recognize the school is a family environment where everyone is welcome and encouraged to contribute to the life of the school
We encourage parental involvement through:
- operating an 'open door' policy for the parents and making them welcome into school at any time
- encouraging parental help in a variety of class based activities
- liaising closely with parents at all times regarding their child's progress through school subject diaries and both formal and informal parent-teacher consultations
