TEACHING & LEARNING
The goal of learning is to understand, apply, and transfer knowledge and skills to a variety of contexts that exist within and beyond the school. BIS defines learning as a life-long process that deepens what we understand, builds on what we know and can do, and develops our character.
Characterized by rigor and real-world relevance, our educational program is a balanced approach that supports all students to reach their personal excellence and become the leaders we are raising them to be. Our educational philosophy highlights the following tenets that guide our educational program: academic excellence, high moral standards, balanced learning, leadership development, and technology. At BIS our class sizes are small and affords the teachers a more individualistic approach to students’ learning.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
We are a school that challenges and supports our students to achieve their personal best. Our students consistently demonstrate high achievement on all levels of recognized measures of success. Since we started, this in-depth study of individual and collective results guides daily instruction at the class and individual level and is a contributing factor in curricular decisions school-wide.
TECHNOLOGY
Fluently leveraging technology and acquiring key tech skills are essential for student success in a technological world. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance for our staff to ensure our students are receiving this learning each and every day. BIS is a 1:1 device school that operates under multiple platforms so that no matter the task, the right tool is available.
Our A-Team continually strives to insure that all members of our learning community are served enthusiastically and purposefully so that they are equipped with: the most effective tools, consequential training based on data and skill acquisition, and are provided secure learning spaces necessary for preparing a student body that is creative, innovative, inspired, and empowered to pursue their passions both now and in the future. We are a school that ensure our students are safe online.
