Environmental Responsibility
At BFIS we are very proud to be an Eco-School, dedicated to fostering a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Through hands-on learning, community projects, and eco-friendly initiatives led by the BFIS Going Green Club, we empower our students and our community in general to become active global citizens who understand the importance of protecting our planet. Together, we are shaping a greener future, one step at a time.
BFIS holds the Green Flag designation as an Eco-School, a recognized accreditation for excellence in sustainable education.
BFIS Eco-Code 2024-2025
Each year, we select a new Eco-Schools theme and align it with a specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), uniting the entire school community in working toward a shared objective.
This year, The BFIS Eco-Code focuses on the UN Sustainable Development Goal: Life Below Water. We are raising awareness about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems, reducing plastic waste, and promoting responsible water use within our school and community.
Going Green Club
Established in 2018 by BFIS students, parents, and teachers, our Going Green Club today boasts approximately 40 dedicated members, primarily Middle and High School students. Since its inception, the club has achieved many significant goals, helping BFIS earn the Green Flag award from the Eco-Schools organization, recognizing us as an eco-friendly school. Far from resting on these achievements, our members are more energized than ever to continue their collaborative efforts, striving to create an even more sustainable environment right here on campus.
