Uniform

At The British International School of New York we believe that wearing a uniform instills a sense of pride, unity and community between all our students. In Upper, students do not have a formal uniform but instead have a dress-code.

Upper School Dress Code

To reflect the greater independence we are giving Upper students, there is not a school uniform. In place of this there is a dress code agreed with students around the expectation that student dress should be smart and appropriate for a place of study. This is based around the following suggestions:

  •  Navy or khaki trousers or mid-length skirt with a collared shirt (and tie). Jacket is optional.
  • For PE students should wear their house color polo shirt with navy shorts or sweatpants.
  • For PE Upper Students may purchase their house color polo shirt or wear their own shirt in their house color (no logo required).

House Colors

Please take note of your House Color below as shared by the Admissions Team following your enrollment. This color indicates the color for your PE Polo Shirt when ordering uniform for students from Year 1 upwards. Bees students all wear RED Polos.

  • Shakespeare = Blue
  • Glennie = White
  • King = Red

I have attended BIS-NY for 3 years. At first, I was unsure if I would fit in, however all the kids and teachers have welcomed me with warm hearts and immediately made me feel at home. I learned so much, made so many new friends and had so many memorable moments. I have grown as a person along with my friends as I progressed through the years and I will miss BIS-NY immensely.
