Academic Excellence and Student Achievement
We are proud of our students' consistent achievement in Cambridge examinations. Our results reflect the hard work and dedication of our students, the expertise of our teaching staff, and the supportive learning environment we provide. Year after year, BIS students demonstrate that they can compete successfully with students from the world's best schools.
While we celebrate top grades, we are equally proud of every student's individual progress and growth. Our small class sizes, personalized attention, and comprehensive support systems ensure that each student can achieve their personal best, regardless of their starting point. We measure success not just in examination grades, but in the development of confident, capable, independent learners ready for university and beyond.
Examination Performance
BIS students consistently achieve strong results in Cambridge IGCSE and A Level examinations. Our students regularly earn grades that meet or exceed the requirements for their chosen universities, with many achieving top grades (A* and A) that open doors to the most competitive courses and institutions worldwide.
IGCSE Results
Our IGCSE students demonstrate strong achievement across all subject areas. The majority of our students achieve grades A*-C in their core subjects (English, Mathematics, and Sciences), providing a solid foundation for A Level study. Students also excel in their chosen elective subjects, with many earning top grades in subjects ranging from Humanities to Languages to Creative Arts.
We are particularly proud of our students' performance in English as a Second Language, where many achieve A* and A grades despite English not being their first language. This demonstrates the effectiveness of our English immersion approach and the dedication of our students to mastering academic English.
A Level Results
Our A Level students achieve results that enable them to gain admission to their chosen universities. Many students achieve grades of A*-B, which are highly competitive for university admission. Our students' A Level results consistently meet the conditional offers made by universities, ensuring they secure their places at their first-choice institutions.
Students excel particularly in subjects where they have strong interest and motivation. Our small Sixth Form classes allow teachers to provide intensive support and challenge, helping students achieve their full potential in their chosen subjects. The combination of expert teaching, rigorous preparation, and student dedication produces excellent results year after year.

Teachers provide not just content knowledge but also exam technique, study skills, and academic guidance.

Teachers know each student's strengths, challenges, and learning style, allowing them to differentiate instruction and provide targeted help. Students feel comfortable asking questions, participating in discussions, and seeking additional support when needed.

Students become familiar with examination formats and expectations, building confidence and reducing anxiety.
University and Career Guidance
Our comprehensive university guidance program helps students make informed decisions about their futures. We provide support with university research, application processes (UCAS, Common App, etc.), personal statement writing, interview preparation, entrance exam preparation, and financial aid information. Students receive individual guidance tailored to their goals and circumstances.
Celebrating Individual Achievement
While we are proud of our overall results, we recognize that every student's journey is unique. We celebrate not just top grades but also significant personal progress, overcoming challenges, developing new skills, and achieving individual goals. Some of our proudest moments come from seeing students exceed their own expectations and discover capabilities they didn't know they had.
Success at BIS is measured in many ways: academic achievement, personal growth, development of character, building of friendships, discovery of passions, and preparation for future success. Our students leave BIS not just with qualifications but with confidence, resilience, curiosity, and the skills needed to thrive in university and life.
