A community of 470 students and teachers from 36 countries, the Benjamin
Franklin International School celebrates its diversity as a unique
resource for meaningful teaching and learning.
At Benjamin Franklin--a world citizen and America's first diplomat--we
support discovery, invention, and scholarship that is intellectually
rewarding and socially responsible. Everyone is a learner here. Students
and adults are engaged continuously in personal and community development.
At BFIS we believe that all children are gifted, and that giftedness
flourishes when the social, emotional, and intellectual components of
their minds are cultivated. This forms the essence of our philosophical
thought and practice, and our commitment to children's experiential
engagement with the world.
I invite you to visit BFIS, a caring and joyful community of students,
faculty, staff, and parents.
