Save your kids by not applying. They have a high turnover and they accept everyone.
This school is a continuous disappointment to parents. Academically, they have given my daughter the wrong curriculum in year 8 , She was taught year 7 curriculum. English is taught as a second language. Unfortunately the one teacher who we were told has experience from other well known schools turned out to have never worked there.
As for my other daughter who attended year 10& 11 at the school . The teaching was quiet a disappointment and the grades were a bigger disappointment. Some topics got ungraded . We later found out that some of the humanity topic teachers has zero experience in the topic which made all the kids fail.
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 the school including but not limited to depriving parents who paid for exams and the full school fees of receiving the username and passwords to check the IGCSE results. This school has failed on all levels ..Disappointing experience. After our complain to GEMS corporate my daughter was bullied by members of the staff unfortunately for blowing the whistle . Continuous problems and drama and unprofessional

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.
