Head of School Coffee – Learning and the Brain

Mr. Wilco Braam and I will be presenting on Learning and the Brain this coming Wednesday, November 13 at 1:45 p.m. in the library.  Wilco is a parent of Philip and Marnix and joins us from the Netherlands where he taught at the university level about educational innovation. Please join us.

PYP Coordinator Interview Panel

I will be interviewing internal candidates for the PYP Coordinator opening. If you are interested in participating in the interviews during the week of November 18-22, please let me know by writing me at headofschool@baliis.net.

Thank you.

Diploma EXPO

Please share this poster with your friends who may be considering BIS as an education option for their children. Next Saturday, we will share the three diploma pathways we offer our Grade 11 and 12 students in an interactive and engaging process. If you have a grade 9 student it may be helpful to better understand options and begin considering course choice. Grade 10 students and parents are strongly encouraged to attend. Mr. Ferris and I have run similar programs at past schools and we feel this will be a great addition to increasing the understanding of the IB Programme here at BIS.

Please mark your calendars here and plan on attending.
