Dear Parents,
May I warmly welcome you to the BICS community!
Our school strives to maintain a caring and enthusiastic environment where we challenge everyone to achieve their academic and personal potential. We do so in the context of our Christian values of respect of each person and other people and the world around us. We place the child at the centre of all our efforts. It is important that the learning experience is both sufficiently structured and enjoyable so that pupils are motivated to achieve their best.
Our vision is to work with families in the task of educating your children in a climate of mutual trust and cooperation between leadership, teachers, pupils and parents. We have a thriving English/ French bilingual programme in our medium-sized school that numbers around 260 children. This enables us to form a learning community where every individual is cared for and is able to achieve his or her potential and become confident learners. Our remarkable national and cultural diversity is an inspiring example of how, on a small scale, we are able to build a harmonious and fulfilled community.
All our teachers are native English or French speakers and show extraordinary dedication to their pupils, expecting the best of the stronger and encouraging the weaker. Students who leave BICS are typically confident, gregarious, dynamic and empathetic. When children leave, we hope they will cherish the knowledge, skills and values they have learned here and keep them for life.
I am delighted that you are considering BICS as a potential choice. You are very welcome to
book a visit and see all of this in action.
