BISM used to have a really good reputation during the days the school was owned by TMG, Now BISM is owned by GEMS and it is solely a business school. It is just good luck if you get a good teacher for your child. The staff turnover is very very high. Many teachers come and leave mid term and the school claim family issues. I struggle to believe this is the case! It has happened in my daughters class for 4 consecutive years! This is our last year at BISM.
The Management in Primary is really bad. The head of Primary makes excuses and has no idea what she or her teachers are doing. Same goes for the principal - she seems to care about money and not what the parents want - well seeing as our fees pay her salary perhaps she should care.
If you have money to pay for your child's education, BISM is not the place to be.

As for the management side ...... Never found proper management and therefore had to reach out to Gems Corporate but at the end all the violations happening in ... read full review
