The Latin Language is the golden bridge that helps us connect with the past, understand the present and build the future.
Latin is related to all the other disciplines and many facets of our lives; its study broadens our horizons and enriches all areas of learning.
At BIS-NY students study the Latin Language, Roman Literature, Roman Culture and Roman History. All four areas of the study are designed to bring awareness of speech, to refine and ameliorate communication, to develop critical and creative thinking, to teach organization and law, to instigate wonder and conversations on fine topics and above all, to give rise to the love of learning.
Serious study combined with a variety of activities, puzzles, games, re-enactments and storytelling keep the learning meaningful and engaging.
In Year 9, students have the option to take the National Latin Exam, where BIS-NY students have typically achieved outstanding results.
Please join Ms. Fortet and Ms. Willmott on Friday 12th at 09:30 for our Annual Phonics Workshop. The teachers will be explaining our approach to early reading, the progression of skill from Nursery to Year 1, as well as and how best to support your child at home.
If there's one thing we like to do at BIS-NY it's read and share our recommendations. That's why Year 5 & 6 have set up their very own website enabling them to share book reviews and discuss the books they enjoy. Here's one of those reviews...
We are delighted to officially launch our reimagined nursery program, the BIS-NY Bees for 3 and 4 years old.
Students across the BIS-NY community have been celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day and celebrating the life and work of the civil rights leader's life and legacy.
Over the holidays, City Harvest reached out to thank BIS-NY for our continued support and in particular for our efforts during their annual Food Drive.
The world is but a school of inquiry
