ACCREDITATIONS & AFFILIATIONS
Accreditations and affiliations to guarantee rigorous standards for staff and students.
ACCREDITATIONS
BISR is accredited by two organisations, the Council of International Schools (CIS) and as a British School Overseas (BSO). Both organisations have rigorous standards which we have to meet in order to be accredited. The award of Full Accreditation Status provides us with the recognition and credibility which reassures parents and students of our school's commitment to the best practices in education, both in the UK and internationally.
| Council of International Schools |

|
The Council of International Schools (CIS) is the premier worldwide accreditation organisation for international schools. Achieving CIS International Accreditation demonstrates that BISR provides high-quality international education in an effective and agile learning organisation. |
| British School Overseas |
|
The British School Overseas (BSO) inspection process, carried out by an organisation called PENTA, is a voluntary inspection scheme for British international schools. They offer an environment in which best pedagogical and leadership practice is shared in order to achieve and maintain the highest educational outcomes for every pupil. |
EXAM BOARDS
BISR is approved as an examination centre for three different exam boards, AQA, Edexcel and Cambridge International, and an authorised school for the International Baccalaureate (IB). BISR is also an examination centre for SATs, tests widely used for college admissions in the United States.
AFFILIATIONS
We are affiliated with a broad range of groups, giving access to high-quality training for our staff, enrichment activities for our students, and access to support and advice when required.
