University Advisor
NEWS
The American Colleges Overseas (ACO) will hold a college fair here on Feb 28th from 1115-1300. Eight universities will be represented.
Scottish Universities Trip for Grade 11 students. We will be visiting Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Dundee and Stirling. The trip departs on April 27th and returns on April 30th.
The role of the University Advisor at The Bonn International School (BIS) is to help our students prepare for the next exciting stage of their lives. Going to college is much more than just filling out application forms and getting good grades in school; it involves a major life change for our students. Here at BIS we ensure students have the necessary academic preparation for higher education, as well as offering sessions focusing on 'life at college' - what is it really like to live away from home?
The University Advisor assists the students in researching their higher education options, helps them with the application process, and directly liaises with college admissions officers worldwide.To access The Guide to University and College Admissions please click here.
While BIS students study in all 4 corners of the world, most choose to study in the USA, UK, Canada and Europe. In order to meet the differing entrance requirements, BIS offers the International Baccalaureate, the BIS High School Diploma and is also a test center for the Collegeboard SAT tests. Arrangements can be made for those who need to take TOEFL or ACT tests.
