Community Service
BMIS continually emphasizes the IB based theory of student -initiated action to pursue their own interests and learn outside of the curriculum.
Our students strive to apply what they have learned in the community and global initiatives in order to make the world a better place. These ideas come from the students themselves, and our staff and school community do what they can to provide the appropriate support for these projects. Students are required to engage in a collaborative, transdisciplinary inquiry process by identifying, investigating, and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems.
These actions will help students excel in their social skills by:
- Fostering self-confidence and a can-do attitude that spreads to their academic pursuits;
- Promoting better problem solving skills, teamwork and the ability to follow instructions;
- Strengthening their ties with the community as they meet new people;
- Teaching them to take responsibility for making great things happen;
- Instilling in them a sense of pride when they see what they have done is actually helping another;
- Teaching them to develop their leadership skills;
- Encouraging togetherness of children and the community to build a positive future.
