BCCIS opened its doors to 27 students and their families in September 2005. Since then, they have multiplied to a community of 800 students and over 100 staff members. Their small beginning was five classes across the school, from preschool to Grade 6; now, they hold over forty classes from Preschool to Grade 12. Early on, their early Child Education (ECE) department, which hosts Preschool and Kindergarten 1, has outgrown them and moved on to their own peaceful quarters adjacent to the main building. Following in their footsteps was the Kindergarten 2 stage, also moving on to their own haven and slowly allowing the young students to transition to the ‘big school’.
Every year, their graduating classes continue to make them proud by moving on to higher education and taking all they learned and have become at BCCIS around the world. They have the pleasure to open their doors to their alumni students who continually return to visit the home they left behind at BCCIS.
BCCIS was started by a family and family values remain the core of their philosophy. From the groundskeepers to the graduating senior to the BC teacher from Vancouver, they are all one, and they all share a home at BCCIS.
