SILJE SKOGSTAD, PARENT

10 years later, Silje and her family still remark that a school community with such a level of compassion and focus on the children is hard to find, and that they are glad to have become part of it.

Silje expresses her gratitude by giving back to the community as the Chair of our Board of Trustees. Her Board work today is focused on to making the school the best place it can possibly be for the students today and in 5 or 10 years from now. 

AVANI B, PRIMARY STUDENT

Born in India, Avani has mostly grown up in Germany, with the exception of a few years living in Uganda. She joined BIS in Grade 1. 

After school, she attends weekly Math Club and enjoys playing both the piano and basketball.

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.

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."

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.
