A HOLISTIC EDUCATION
At BCIS, we approach learning as an activity that each individual should pursue throughout life, in order to develop social relationship, emotion and intellect. We believe that every student has unlimited potential, and our role as educators must be to awaken different forms of intelligence and spark creativity, as well as untapped potential. Rich and authentic learning experiences are used to cultivate innate talents, provide opportunities to pursue interests and passions, both inside and outside of the classroom, and strive for excellence. Everything is based on the spirit: remembering the ‘Roots’ and spreading the ‘Wings’.
