Environmental Policy
BIS is committed to educating students to respect and protect the natural environment. We have a duty to prepare students with the knowledge and skills to look after our planet, to manage the world’s resources wisely, and to make a positive contribution to the world by improving our local area. We therefore aim to develop good habits and behaviour patterns amongst staff and pupils.
We encourage both staff and pupils to think about their environment and how their actions impact the world on a national and global scale. We promote and encourage environmental education in all aspects of everyday life.
The ways in which we will strive toward our goal of minimal negative environmental impact is to reduce the amount of materials we use and waste we produce, recycle and re-use materials whenever and wherever possible, restore what is deemed to have been destroyed, and respect our neighbours and environment.
In our immediate school vicinity, our aim is to provide and maintain an environment which:
- Contributes positively to the learning, well-being, attitudes, behaviours, and motivations of students;
- Provides a safe and stimulating learning environment;
- Enables children to make maximum use of the opportunities provided by the school campus;
- Provides a safe, comfortable, and motivating place of work for all BIS staff;
- Is attractive to visitors;
- Reflects our values of care and respect toward each other and our school.
What we do at BIS has a much bigger impact than just at our own campus. It impacts our suppliers, our students, their families, and everyone they can influence while setting a proximal example to others in the Kyrgyz Republic and Central Asia as a whole.
