Year 5 children’s testimonials

‘At BISB, the quality of the learning is extremely high, we children, will learn a variety of subjects. In BISB there are lots of different kinds and they are very educational because there are a variety of different teachers who teach the subject. We have no more than 22 children because if there were more, we’d have to move the furniture away. Plus, the teachers say it helps us use are knowledge in the lessons because …we will learn tons!

The lunches are good too! The lunches are quick and fast because if they weren’t, we’d have to wait ours and ours and ours. There is a variety of food too hot, cold, homemade because you can choose… what you want! The lunches are quite healthy so kids don’t get sick [honestly I’d hate to] so they don’t go home! My school lunches are very hot and warm so we don’t complain.’

We have a highly rich quality of books so we can pick a book of your choice and level. We have a partner or a group to share ideas with so we can work faster, solve problems and learn more.

The teachers are high quality and all native English speakers.  The teachers always try to make the lessons interesting and exciting and not boring.  There are special teachers for many subjects such as French and Slovak.’

‘At BISB,I have the benefit of a high quality education. The school gets split sometimes; the students can work with a group there level also to learn at their own Speed.my School gets split up into little groups because the teachers can explain fully. My school has a wide range of books so my class mates can read at their different levels.

My schools lunches always have all the nutrients that children need so they will be healthier. I know that the my school hands out mash potatoes more often so little children can chew it easier. I also get a wide range of school lunches because my class mates don’t get bored of the lunches.’

‘Come! To the international BISB school because our school has challenging work with teachers who explain how to answer difficult questions to bring children to a higher level. We also work in groups and always solve problems together. And on trips we discover the bright nature of science.

Our BISB teachers are spectacular and great and they are fully trained. Teachers are technical learners and they are the most of the true fun. If your child needs help then there are teachers that improve English. The class size is very big and includes a mini library and a smart board. We also have a football team. We hope that you will come to BISB!’

Rado

‘My class at BISB has good technology that helps me and my class mates learn a variety of information every day. As a student, I am very confident about the teachers and the technology in my class. I am confident because I know that a projector won’t fall on my head or I will not get an electro-shock or some different horrible things will happen.’

Samuel

‘In the BISB playground we play safe and fun with a variety of games. BISB is safe for me because there are adults and security camera’s all around the school.

At BISB I can join in interesting clubs every single day (except holidays). I do clubs only with children near my age. Teachers will make clubs safe for me.’

Santiago

‘In the BISB school library I can have my own choice of reading books. In my school library they have lots of language books like: French, German, Spanish and Korean because lots of my school mates are from different countries. Normally in the library you can just borrow 2 books, however if you like reading you can join the library club and borrow 4 books.’
