TOP 10 REASONS TO CHOOSE BIS

Leader in International Accreditation

As the first International Baccalaureate World School in the Kyrgyz Republic, we
meet the top standard for truly international education and offer the
prestigious IB Diploma for students age 16-18. IB students develop strong
academic, social and emotional skills and are more likely to enrol at top
universities than students from other programmes. Younger students in the IB
Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme also outperform other
students in a number of areas. BIS is also the first school in Bishkek to offer
accreditation with Cambridge International Examinations for Kyrgyz citizens and
we continue to hold Cambridge accreditation and offer the IGCSE programme and
exams for students age 14-16. Accreditation with the New England Association of
Schools and Colleges (NEASC) Council for International Education supports high
standards throughout the school and provides authority for the BIS High School
Diploma for graduating students.

Inspirational Learning Environment

Students enjoy the happy, safe and supportive environment at BIS. As the
Korooluev family told us before they moved to USA: “For us, the best thing about
the school was that our kids were happy there. They integrated well and
absolutely loved the school, teachers and fellow students.” Our whole approach
to learning is to create a great place for students to learn, where everyone is
encouraged to achieve their best potential. Within this happy environment we
focus on providing excellent education. Students want to come to school and
learn!

Exceptional Teachers

Our teachers from USA, Canada, UK, Belgium, France, South Africa, Japan, Korea
and Kyrgyzstan, bring a wealth of international teaching experience and provide
education based around academic excellence. Specialist teachers provide engaging
programmes for Languages, Individuals & Societies, Science, Computer Science,
Math, Music, Art, Dance and PE. With excellent teachers and a low
student-teacher ratio, all students receive individual attention to help them
achieve more.

Extracurricular Activities

At BIS, the classroom is just one of many opportunities for learning. Since the
school was opened, parents have praised the extracurricular programme including
rock-climbing, soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, film-making, cooking,
crafts, and more. In the words of the Lee family: “students have many chances to
present their works, doing scientific experiments, building teamwork. Through
this learning process, my kids gained confidence and were not afraid of
performing in front of others.”

Truly International

Students from America, Europe, Japan, China, Korea, and over 30 countries
world-wide, provide a culturally diverse and creative learning environment.
English is the main language of communication and instruction so that so that
students have opportunities to join the world’s best universities and
multinational companies in future. For English learners we have a strong
programme of English Language Acquisition from one-on-one support to full
immersion of learning in English. In the words of the Spernol family: “the
school makes a lot of effort to bring non-English speaking children up to the
level of “usual” classroom English, with specific assistance adapted to the
level of each child.”

Multilingual Students

We place great emphasis on language learning for all students. Students who are
already proficient in English are encouraged to study at least two more
languages. As well as supporting students in developing their own native
languages we provide the opportunity to learn Kyrgyz, Russian, French, Spanish,
German and Mandarin. Additional languages not only ease communication but they
help students develop insights into the craft of language and influence of
culture, and to realize that there are diverse ways of living, viewing and
behaving in the world.

The Power of Community

Our school was established by the community for the community and we never lose
sight of the benefits of working together. Our Parents Committee is actively
engaged in school governance and we practice a culture of open parent and school
communication. Everything that we have achieved with the school is because of
our joint commitment to success. Even when the going is tough, we always believe
that ‘together, we can do this!’

Fully Non-Profit

BIS is a liberal secular non-profit school with transparent governance and
operations. We have no major donor or sponsor and as a non-profit public
foundation we have no investor. School fees pay for education costs or are
invested in improving the school or to help provide scholarships. Our strict
ethics policy means that we do not pay bribes and we pay all taxes; hence we
currently pay 60% of all of the taxes paid by all international schools in
Bishkek. These tax payments help to pay for education in state schools so that
all children benefit.

Providing excellent education is the only reason for BIS to exist, which is why
we also invest in scholarships for able students who are unable to afford school
fees. Fifty percent of current high school students are scholarship students,
with 50% to 90% discount from school fees.

Quiet Central Location

While being within central Bishkek, the actual school location is in a quiet
residential area well away from the traffic fumes and other dangers of major
roads. We have a full-size outdoor basketball court, a real grass field, and an
adventure playground with treehouses, zipline and climbing walls, giving
students space and variety to enjoy themselves at break times. All buildings and
facilities are designed and constructed for strong earthquake standards, fire
safety and student security. This is a wonderful safe place for children to
spend the day.

Constant Improvement

We encourage a culture of constant improvement for all students and for all
aspects of school education, activities, operations and facilities. Our
improvement culture is clearly visible in improvements to school facilities as
we have more than doubled school capacity since 2015 by adding a 3rd floor and
infilling a courtyard in the main school building and built new buildings.
 These changes have created a multi-purpose sports hall; two libraries, three
science labs, art room, music room, maker-space, fourteen classrooms, and a new
café. We always work hard to be better in future!
