Welcome from our Executive Principal

Welcome to BCIS, Phuket!

Our amazing school is beautifully distinct.  Diversity is built into our institutional DNA.  Our unique dual pathways programmes – British and French – provide our families with two world-renowned international curricula comminating in ‘gold-standard’ qualifications of the French Baccalaureate or British A-levels.  Our children experience a truly international education.  Over 45 languages are spoken within our community.  We embrace our multilingualism as a huge strength.

In addition to our highly academic IGCSE/A level and Brevet/Baccalaureate programmes, our students flourish through a broad and high-quality enrichment programme.  The superb range of extra-curricular activities (ECAs) are underpinned by astonishing facilities.  In addition to our playing pitches, sports courts, multiple swimming pools and world class gymnastics facilities, come and visit our planetarium or experience skiing in Phuket on our dry-ski slopes!

Our superb provision is based on simple fundamental principles.  For children to be learning and achieving, they should be happy, and for children to be happy they must be safe.  We put huge emphasis on taking all reasonable measures for the safety of our students.  Our families give us the greatest honour of entrusting us with the most precious people in their lives, and we have an absolute obligation to keep their children safe.

We are also blessed to be part of a truly world-wide community of learners, the International Schools Partnership (ISP).  As an ISP school, our students have access to a wonderful range of international learning opportunities, meeting children from across the planet.  As an ISP school, our staff have access to high-quality professional training and development, based on best global practice.

I encourage you to explore our website and even more, I encourage you to come and visit us!  By getting to know us a little better, you will see how we are fulfilling our vision: “We will develop our unique talents and character and become independent life-long learners and active global citizens committed to the service of humanity and the sustainability of our planet.”  You will see how we are implementing our mission: “An inclusive and multilingual learning community offering two curricular pathways to success, BCIS embraces innovative approaches to inspire and empower learners to find their passion and purpose in life.”

As the Executive Principal covering both campuses and the unique dual curricular pathways, I thank you on behalf of all my colleagues for visiting the website of our amazing school.
