Through our Personal Social Health and Emotional (PSHE) curriculum at BIS Houston, students also explore topics like psychology, relationships, general health, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills, and spiritual development, using interactions and demonstrations in their lessons and activities.  

BIS Houston also hosts school-wide assemblies that encourage student agency, building students’ confidence through their voice and choice around a variety of topics.
