Supplies List

The Secondary School Supplies List serves as a a guide of the materials your child will need when starting school. Please take this a reference -- there is no need to purchase every item at the beginning of the year.

Laptop / Bring Your Own Device

Our BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Programme applies to all Secondary students in Grades 8 - 12. They need to bring their personal laptops to school for course work. Requirements:

• 13“ display diagonal size
• 4GBRAM
• 128 GB hard drive
• supports latest macOS operating system version or Windows 8.1 or newer

Physical Education Uniform

Students in Grades 1 – 10 wear a uniform for Physical Education classes. This uniform consists of a green t-shirt with the BIS logo and blue shorts. 

The required clothing can only be purchased online with the supplier “Schwarz Sports”. To access the online shop:

1. Visit the website: http://schwarz-sports.de/
2. Click on the BIS Logo

A complete set of clothing costs between €26 - €38. BIS recommends the purchase of one pair of shorts and two t-shirts, so that students may bring home a used t-shirt for washing and still have a change of clothes. Orders above €25 via “Schwarz Sports” are free of delivery charges.

Traveling Sports Uniform

Students who are members of a Traveling Sports Team will need to purchase an Co-Curricular Sports Tracksuit Jacket.

CC Sports tracksuit jackets are available in adult and children's sizes. Matching tracksuit pants may also be purchased, but are not compulsory. For an optional charge, the student’s initials may be printed on the jacket or pants. 

It may take a while before you know your way around school. In the meantime, these people can help.
