Message from Director of Teaching and Learning
Welcome to BIS: A Thriving Learning Community
It is my heartfelt pleasure to welcome you to BIS, a place where robust minds and creative hearts come together in the spirit of learning, growth, and discovery. As the Director of Teaching and Learning, and also as the Founding Head of School, I have had the unique honor of shaping this wonderful community from its early stages, establishing the BIS core values (RIWEP) that guide us and helping the school through the rewarding journey of becoming authorized for the PYP, MYP, and DP programmes.
At BIS, we believe that learning is an exciting, ever-evolving process, and we are committed to creating an environment that is both rigorous and nurturing. We wholeheartedly embrace the IB philosophy, integrating it with our value-driven curriculum to offer an education that not only nurtures academic excellence but also shapes compassionate, globally minded individuals.
Our focus on active inquiry and experiential learning invites every student to explore, question, and grow at their own pace, knowing they are supported every step of the way.
As Director of Teaching and Learning, I have had the privilege of initiating 14 unique programmes, each carefully designed to support the diverse needs of our students across all age groups. These programmes reflect our dedication to fostering a love of learning while reinforcing our unwavering commitment to excellence. It is a joy to witness how these initiatives enrich the educational journey of our students and bring them closer to realizing their potential.
What makes BIS truly special is our community—students, parents, and educators—who come together with shared aspirations for growth, learning, and well-being. Open communication is at the heart of our school, allowing us to consider valuable input from all stakeholders as we consistently strive to raise the bar and make BIS, a place where everyone feels valued and empowered to achieve great things.
Above all, I am immensely proud of the warm, inclusive environment that we have cultivated here. We prioritize the well-being of every student, parent, and staff member, ensuring that all feel respected, supported, and secure.
It is this spirit of care and community that makes BIS a truly happy and thriving school.
I warmly welcome you to our high-spirited community. I look forward to working together as we continue to inspire and support our dear students on their journey toward excellence.
