Life After BISR

 

 

Students who leave BISR generally go either on to university if they leave Year 13, or to another school. In some cases, their new school is 'back home', but many BISR students go to other international schools. The council of International Schools (www.portal.cois.org) and the International Baccalaureate (www.ibo.org) websites both contain lists of member schools.

 

On this page of our website you will find help in getting your son or daughter into another school and also some interesting articles on various topics to help with the transition. The sections are:
