What Our Students Say

Great schools are made up of great teachers who make students shine. We give our students the tools and skills to succeed, we cultivate their creativity, confidence and challenge them to do the best they can. Listen to this powerful story of one of our students who overcame her fears and turned them into strengths.

What do our students think of BISB? 

"Located in the heart of Europe, BISB gives me a chance to meet the world. Great teachers widening my knowledge and absorbing the truth about life, as well as students from all over the world, who believe in the beauty of their dreams, make this school even more special. Being a head girl of BISB in 2020 is a great honor and privilege for me. I will strive to make our students grow up to meet their big dreams, so that we can change the world together. Dedicating myself to BISB will give me precious insights and valuable experiences. The experience I would get through BISB will not only help me achieve my dream, but also help me grow as a more responsible and a better leader."

"This is the start of my 5^th year at BISB, and so far, I haven’t found much to complain about. Academically, there’s practically nothing that I’d want to improve. I believe that I’ve been given the tools to unlock most, if not all, of my potential. I feel ready for the steps that come after school and what lies beyond those too, and that’s not just academically.

The opportunities that the school has provided me with play a large role in this, whether it be the international basketball tournaments, playing in the final round of the national volleyball championships, the maths competitions, the Model United Nations, trips to Switzerland, the Duke of Edinburgh International Award, and the leadership opportunities… The list goes on (and these are only some of the opportunities that I’ve taken, there’s a lot more on offer), so I can’t really complain about that either.

Finally, the last thing that I can’t find anything to complain about is the staff, the students, and the whole atmosphere of the school; simply put, it’s a nice place to be. These past few years have been fun, and I look forward to the time that I have left at this school and the endless opportunities that the future holds."

Martin N.,  Year 12 student

"Being a foreigner can be very difficult, and by providing a Slovak Class, I have learned a vast amount more than I would have, had I studied on my own. Though my pronunciation is not amazing, and I lack in certain areas of conversation, I can say, I have learned so much from this class. The devotion of our teacher motivates us to try our best. As mentioned by fellow students, I have felt my understanding of the Slovak language grow."

BISB student

"In Korean classes, we have a lot of group work, we could join all together with no exception of people, while reading fascinating books which encouraged me to stand in front of my friends and tell my opinion. It is a great opportunity to think with others and discuss them. Furthermore, Mrs Cho is nice and illustrates very well and makes it easy to understand."
