"BIS has been a great experience for our son, his education and development, coming from a very homogenous environment in Boulder, CO.  It has also been a great experience for us as a family with the welcoming community and the ability to experience everything life in the UN city of Bonn has to offer."

WENDY WEISBART, GRADE 2 TEACHER

 

Wendy's dedication to helping individual students find their strengths extends beyond the classroom. She leads our Odyssey of the Mind Club, an after school activity. This club focuses on creative problem-solving program where team members solve a predefined long-term problem and present their solution to the problem at a competition.

When not at BIS, Wendy can be found with out walking with her beloved dog.

Wendy Weisbart, Grade 2 Teacher

"Although educational research is continuously changing for best practices, the most important thing is to get to know our students, develop a relationship with them, make them feel appreciated and part of the community. Students are more likely to learn when they feel safe and valued. Without this, teaching and learning will not be nearly as successful."

BENEDICTE NEICHEL, PARENT

Benedicte has a son in the Diploma Programme and a daughter who recently graduated.

She quotes her children: "Both of our children love(d) their time at the school and consider themselves lucky to be able to learn in an environment that makes learning interesting and enjoyable, that challenges them to think about what they learn and that allows them to manage their own learning and to develop their confidence. They appreciate having great teachers to guide them through their years at BIS."

"BIS is a warm and welcoming international school community, which provides an outstanding education on a great campus. Its inspiring teachers, innovative teaching methods and supportive and respectful culture help kids develop and become the best version of themselves."

HABIB M, PRIMARY STUDENT

 

Habib's family chose to enroll him and his three brothers at BIS because of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programmes taught in all of our grade levels. His father attended an IB school himself and wants his children to benefit from this forward-thinking, conceptual approach to learning.

Habib's mother is an accomplished athlete. We are lucky to have her train our marathon team.
