Elementary School
The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program offers an international education through a learner-centered, inquiry-based, team-teaching approach. At BLIS, we utilize a wide range of resources. As our students begin to develop the skills of lifelong learning and international-mindedness, they apply their learning to the real world.
Middle School
The middle school program at BLIS is designed to nurture students’ intellectual, physical, psychological, aesthetic, and social needs during their transition from childhood to adolescence. During this time, students experience rapid growth and a dramatic shift in cognitive abilities as they move from concrete to abstract levels of thinking.
High School
What goes into a good high school?We seek comparability with other schools throughout the world through IGCSE (The International General Certificate of Secondary Education) from the University of Cambridge International Examinations and the IBDP (The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme).
Research suggests that there are many benefits to choosing the Diploma Programme (DP). The programme aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge—students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.
BLIS Middle School is a fully authorized IB MYP School. The MYP programme is integrated into our full middle school curriculum, with Grade 5 as our transition-year for MYP and students officially entering the programme in Grade 6.
At BLIS, we’re proud to offer the globally acclaimed International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), a transformative educational framework designed to ignite curiosity, foster inquiry, and nurture holistic development in our students.
Our school has offered this qualification for over 25 years, since its inception. Designed as a two-year program, the IGCSE offers students a challenging, world-class curriculum throughout grades 9 and 10.
