A TYPICAL DAY AT BIS HOUSTON
Whether it's during play time, enquiry activities, or moments of peer connection, our Early Childhood days are filled with exciting new ideas, as we discover more about our world and each other.
EXPLORING THE WORLD
Our stimulating environment, bespoke curriculum, and nurturing teachers spark our curiosity every day. We learn to be enquirers, as we discover the world through units like ‘Dinosaur Detectives’ or ‘Once Upon a Time’. We show our learning in different ways.
ENQUIRING AND EXPRESSING
LEARNING HOW TO FOCUS
On the carpet, we’ll practise our phonics, maths, and writing skills, and we’ll continually build upon our knowledge at each unit of learning. By working on focused activities one-on-one with our teacher or in small groups, we get to focus, practise, and apply what we’ve learned.
TRANSFERING LEARNING
A RESTFUL PAUSE
Snack times, lunch, and play times throughout the day give us the chance to recharge from our busy lessons. We’ll also socialise with classmates. We build friendships by helping each other, chatting with each other, and making decisions together.
SOCIALISING AND SHARING
THERE ARE NO LIMITS
Our state-of-the-art facilities at school allow us to do ‘dolphin dives’ in the pool, ‘cook’ a gourmet meal in the mud kitchen, or perform on stage! Every day is full of playing, as we learn new skills and have fun – going beyond what we already know.
PLAYING AND SKILL-BUILDING
REFLECTING AND SHARING
We love hearing our teachers read stories to fire our imaginations, help us reflect on what we’ve learned today, and teach us more about the world! We also share songs and practise our phonics together.
STORYTIME
CO-CURRICULAR FUN
After school, playful learning continues during our favourite co-curricular activities (CCAs), from building with Legos to jumping in sync during dance. We can’t wait to learn new skills from our coaches, alongside our friends.
EXTENDING AND ENRICHING
A TYPICAL DAY AT BIS HOUSTON
Whether it's during maths class, while playing an instrument, or during a discussion around UNICEF's social impact, our Primary School days are full of stimulating challenges that nurture our growth and motivate us to take the lead.
BECOMING ENGLISH ENTHUSIASTS
We'll build up our skills in phonics, spelling, and grammar while reading interesting stories from different parts of the world, helping us connect with a diverse range of literature. We'll share our thoughts and respond to ideas in the classroom through writing exercises.
SPEAKING, READING, LISTENING, AND WRITING
MATHS MASTERY
We're posed with different problem-solving tasks, where we reason through the practicalities of real-world scenarios and calculate solutions. Every day, we get closer to mastering each challenge, working at our own pace through each unit.
REASONING AND CALCULATING
SPECIALIST SUBJECTS
During specialist lessons, we take centre stage! We'll boost our performance in physical education, music, and performing arts. We'll also expand our language skills by learning French or Spanish or also continuing our native language through BIS Houston's heritage programme.
ENHANCING OUR SKILLS
DRIVING OUR ENQUIRY
We have many different opportunities to follow our curiosity and connect our learning to the world around us. While our teachers give us many exciting projects and challenges, during ‘Exit Points’, we showcase the variety and intensity of our learning to the entire community.
SHARING KNOWLEDGE
BECOMING GLOBAL LEADERS
We’re glad to have voice and choice at BIS Houston. We decide what to pursue in our Enrichment Programme, including leadership opportunities like serving as House Captains, Sports Leaders, Well-being Warriors, UNICEF Ambassadors, ECO-Club Members, or IT Gurus.
TAKING THE LEAD
A WORLD BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
After school, the learning continues! During co-curricular activities (CCAs), we explore the world that lies outside the classroom. We can participate in physical games and sports, creative arts and crafts, coding, or other activities that employ our critical thinking skills.
DEVELOPING OUR INTERESTS
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Whether it’s during a Student Leadership meeting, during a lunchtime game of soccer, or while running through Texas Mock Trial, our Middle School days are full of moments of growth and independence – alongside our peers and teachers.
MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD
We begin every day by coming together with our Bulldog community, as we listen to and support each other, so we can be ready for a full day of learning. Our voice in the student body is important – we’ll speak during Student Leadership meetings, house events, or assemblies.
ENCOURAGING WELL-BEING
IN OUR OWN HANDS, IN OUR OWN WORDS
Moving between neighbourhoods and collaborative spaces, our state-of-the-art campus encourages us to enquire and collaborate. Because we have the freedom to lead our learning, we can explore the impact of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), design a landscape using Desmos, or bring literature to life.
OWNING OUR LEARNING
JUST BEING US
During midday lunch, we relax and refuel over a nutritious meal in the Boma. We have quality time with our friends, and we can play sports, catch up with teachers in the Agora, or run a meeting among our UNICEF club, so we plan sustainable initiatives.
RELAXING AND REFUELLING
FLOURISHING WITH CREATIVITY
Whether we're filming presentations in the green-screen room, acting out scenes in the Black Box theatre, combining art and tech, or honing our opening statements for the Texas mock trial, creativity abounds! We're always finding inventive ways to use our skills and talents.
DEEPENING SKILLS, ENRICHING TALENTS
GOING THE EXTRA MILE
After school, we'll jump into the activities we love to explore. Whether we’re building products in the makerspace, representing our school on the pitch, chairing an MUN committee, or rehearsing in the theatre, we're always cultivating our passions.
PURSUING INTERESTS AND GOALS
HIGH SCHOOL
Whether it’s helping a community in need, studying for an important exam, or reflecting on our aspirations for the future, our days are full of exciting activity. We refine our skills and pursue our goals, so we can make a difference in the world.
COMING FULL-CIRCLE
We start our day by reflecting on our ambitions and progress so far, as part of our well-being. We share varied perspectives, meet with college counsellors, and take the lead through student initiatives. Through it all, we’re nurturing our open-mindedness, collaboration, and wellness.
BALANCING OURSELVES
EXPLORING OUR INTERESTS
Our academic choices are as varied as our interests – and as deep as our ambitions! We’re solving higher level maths problems, exploring undergraduate aeronautics, filming our own movies, and writing essays. We can match our courses with our desired future and create the path that works best through our goals.
CARVING OUT OUR OWN PATH
R&R: REST AND RECREATION
We’ll pause midday to enjoy our lunch – choosing from a selection of diverse cuisine in the Boma or from a smoothie and snack in the coffee shop. Unwinding, we can catch up with friends, play sports, or tinker with our own robotics, as we leisurely explore what makes us happy.
RESETTING, REFUELING
APPLYING OUR SKILLS AND TALENTS
We give back to our communities, whether it’s by organising blood drives, hosting the Head of UNICEF USA, or fundraising for our international trip to Tanzania. Through ‘creativity, activity, and service’, we use our skills and talents to be a driving force for good – in our school, in Houston, and beyond.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
GROWING AS YOUNG ADULTS
After school, we enjoy exercising our leadership and building community – whether it’s on our Varsity sports teams, while planning a national MUN conference, experimenting for the Science Olympiad, or rehearsing for the school play. We make the choices that define who we want to be.
