I have been at the school for 6 years and I would say this school is really good overall, the only real problem is the fact that some of the teachers are strict but not rude. There is also the problem of bullying from grades 6 to 8. But overall I would really recommend it.

My middle schooler is doing amazing at BIS. The teachers make learning fun and challenging, and the student body is welcoming and generally united. The atmosphere is respectful, progressive and academic, while also very creative. My son will be well prepared for high school academics, which is important. I love that there are plenty of opportunities for families to engage with the school and to celebrate our students'' accomplishments. I am extremely pleased with our choice to attend BIS.

I used to go here to an amazing school and people are all so welcoming, but I feel as though the teachers treat students in a different manner. I am not sure why but that's how it is so if bullying is happening there usually doesn't get solved unless they like the student.
