Getting started

During the application process, we will ask you for information to help us to place your child in the appropriate grade level and make subjects choices when needed.

A few things to know:

  • Apply via our online platform called OpenApply, where you submit all of your details and upload all documents.
  • BIS accepts children throughout the course of the school year. There is no application deadline.
  • Admission is subject to the availability of places in a specific grade level. Some of our grade levels are full.
  • The 2023 - 2024 school year for new students begins on Monday, 21 August 2023 and ends on Thursday, 27 June 2024.

Only once we accept your application and offer your child a place are you committed to the contract.

What you need for your application

When completing the online admission process, you will be asked to upload the following documents:

  • a copy of your child’s passport
  • your child’s immunization record against measles
  • a confidential recommendation from your child's current school (required for applications made for Grades 1-12)
  • two years of previous school reports

A full application with all of these documents is to be completed by parents/guardians on the BIS OpenApply site before a review of the student application takes place.
