Welcome to BCCIS. We appreciate your interest in our school. This information is indented to assist you in assessing which school will best serve the needs of your children. We welcome your questions. Please feel free to email or call us. At BCCIS, students are at the heart of the educational experience. We believe that school should be engaging, stimulating and fun in order for each child to best develop the self-confidence, interpersonal skills and academic foundation for success in rapidly changing world. Here students learn to master, content, and to synthesize, apply and make critical judgments about what they learn. Our program strives to be dynamic, experimental and designed to be appropriate to the developmental needs of children from preschool through adolescence.

 

 

Our primary goal in the admission process is to asses each applicant's level of readiness for the grade to which he or she is applying. This allows us to place students in the learning environment in which they will be most successful while at our school. Occasionally we find that BCCIS expectations of students are different from other international and local schools. Because of that all candidates seeking admission to BCCIS need to schedule an interview with our school administration, to discuss entrance placement and initial academic testing. BCCIS follows an academic year based on the northern hemisphere British Colombia Canadian curriculum. This means that school typically begins the fist week of September and runs until the third week of December. Students return for second semester in January and classes continue until end of June. While most students enter school at the beginning of each semester, we do take applications and accept students throughout the year.
