Education at BIS

BIS is fully authorised to provide the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Years Programme (DYP).

Inspired by the programmes of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), we provide a supportive learning and teaching environment that enables each student to develop and fulfil his or her potential, assume individual responsibility, and develop respect for self and others.

Each of the three IBO programmes are unique yet share common features. These include the following:

• requiring study across a broad and balanced range of knowledge domains including languages, humanities, science and technology, mathematics and the arts, drawing on content from educational cultures across the world


• giving special emphasis to language acquisition and development


• providing opportunities for engaging in transdisciplinary learning


• focussing on developing the skills of learning, culminating in a study of the Theory of Knowledge in the Diploma Programme


• including, to a varying extent, the study of individual subjects


• providing students with opportunities for individual and collaborative planning and research


• including a community service component requiring action and reflection
