High School
In the high school we believe in giving students opportunities to participate in a rich and diverse learning environment where passions can be pursued and new interests explored. Learning and teaching at BIS is focused on standards that define what students need to know and do. By teaching for understanding we promote inquiry and essential questions surrounding a set of transferable and foundational ‘big ideas’. Our goal is to nurture learners to feel proud of their accomplishments and view themselves as contributors to BIS’s culture of understanding.
