Welcome to BCIS, a school community that is first and foremost a family. A family that is interconnected through its powerful mission of empowering and inspiring through challenge and compassion. As you explore our website you will see the mission lived through the diverse range of educational experiences which we offer, from the classroom to the rooftop garden, to the swimming pool, to our week without walls trips and much more.
BCIS is proud of its first-class facilities that provide progressive and open learning spaces where all students can thrive and apply their learning to real world situations. We recognize that each child is unique with their own special interests and BCIS ensures all students can develop these passions through personalized learning.
Whilst outstanding facilities and being an IB world school are important, we know that students learn best when teachers care. What distinguishes BCIS is the quality of the teaching staff who are intentional in helping each student reach their full potential in caring and supportive environments.
BCIS is proud to recognize and honor Chinese culture and traditions as an important feature of its education. This understanding of local culture as well as recognizing and respecting differences in others is an important thread that runs through the core of BCIS and helps students prepare for a globally connected world.
