MISSION & VISION

MISSION STATEMENT

We provide an educational program that meets the highest national and international academic standards, and we expect our students to achieve outstanding success at university and beyond.
We support academic, aesthetic, physical, social, and emotional development; promote independent inquiry, critical thinking, creativity, and respect for diversity.
We cultivate ethical values and behaviors that lead to exemplary citizenship in our community, nation, and the world.

VISION

All Hands Together Create the Future.

INTERNATIONALISM

BLIS defines international-mindedness as understanding and respecting different cultures, backgrounds, and belief systems.
We approach the world with empathy and open-mindedness; exploring diverse perspectives, valuing individual cultures, bringing people together, and fostering unity.
Teaching and learning practices inside and outside the classroom reflect this understanding and further reinforce BLIS’s commitment to internationalism.

HIGH-QUALITY LEARNING

We strive to build a broad school community of internationally minded learners who view learning as a continuous process of inquiry and engagement.
We nurture individuals who are self-motivated, emotionally resilient, ethically grounded, critical thinkers, problem solvers, and who appreciate life.
Our goal is to positively impact our students’ education and future outcomes by providing real-life experiences that help them recognize how to transfer their knowledge and skills to new situations and challenges both within and beyond the school.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

As an international school, we encourage our students to recognize the importance of responsibly protecting the natural world and their environment.
At the same time, we learn how to take action to safeguard the dignity and rights of all members of our shared humanity.
We aim to develop a lasting understanding of the shared rights and responsibilities we hold as global citizens.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

We teach our community the value of digital citizenship and support our students in transitioning from the real world to the virtual world with the same values, character, and moral principles we cultivate throughout school life.
In doing so, we help students grow into responsible and ethical digital citizens.
