Facilities
BFIS facilities are divided in two different campuses in the same location: One campus hosts the Elementary School building, as well as the Secondary School Building. Across the street, another campus will host the New Center for Creativity and Innovation for Middle and High School students. BFIS facilities are purposefully designed to meet the needs of the students at each stage of their development.
New Center for Creativity and Innovation
Early Childhood and Elementary School Building (Nursery – Grade 5)
BFIS Early Childhood (EC) and Elementary School (ES) Campus is currently hosting students from Nursery to Grade 5. Starting in January 2021, once the new Middle School building is inaugurated, the EC/ES campus will also host Middle School students (Grades 6, 7 and 8)
The EC/ES building was inaugurated in 2016. It is a student-centered design with flexible furniture that expects collaboration, creativity and critical thinking – an affront to traditional passive learning environments. You will see state of the art technology, teachers not just leading, but also facilitating the learning process, amid comfortable happy students. The Elementary school facilities are the backbone of a truly progressive 21st century education
