BIS is flexible in its program schedule, which we believe can be a great benefit to student athletes and travelers. Considering outside activities and schedules, does your child have any time considerations we should be aware of such as extensive traveling that would help us best serve your family?

BIS currently serves 8 time zones from Pacific Time to Central European, which means some students begin early in their day, while others join later. We hope to extend our schedules so that students can join during comfortable hours, but this will come with growth.
