We are a small group of parent volunteers who aim to build community and spirit among our wonderful international school community. BIS is a fantastic school, with an exceptional Leadership team, dedicated teaching staff and incredible administrative staff. There is always a person willing to help you. Please just ask. At one time, each family in the school has been a new family. So we really do understand how difficult it can be to move to another country, and to not understand the language or the local systems and culture. We know that as parents you are supporting your children, and making the experience for them as easy as possible. They will cope well with your support. The reason we are here is for you. Working along side us are a larger group of volunteer parents. They are the ‘Support Crew’. The Language representatives, Region representatives for the area in which you live and your Grade representatives are all great people to make contact with to help you understand the operation of the school and provide help as you settle in. We are all here to help and make your transition as smooth as possible. Thank you for choosing BIS, we are so glad you are here.
