Parent Visits

At BIS School, we value the partnership between parents and teachers and encourage open communication. Parents can call the Parents’ Care Department to schedule an appointment with their child’s teacher, Head of Department or the social workers to discuss any concerns they may have.

If an urgent meeting with a teacher is necessary, it will be scheduled at a time that is convenient within the teacher’s session schedule.

Please note that interruptions during classroom sessions are not permitted to maintain a focused learning environment.

During parent visits, students will not be excused from their classes to leave with their parents and are expected to remain at school until the end of the school day. This policy ensures that students can benefit fully from their educational experience without unnecessary disruption

School Days and Hours

The academic year at BIS typically runs from early September to late June and is divided into three semesters. Each semester concludes with a one- or two-week break.
