Welcome to Beacon Hill International School!
BHIS provides an inclusive, globally-oriented education and offers two language options: Spanish immersion and Mandarin immersion. All students spend half their day in their target language (Spanish or Mandarin), and half their day in English.
What makes BHIS an international school?
- Language immersion
- Families and students with backgrounds from around the world
- ELL (English Language Learners): We are proud to have the highest population of ELL students in the district. We know that being bilingual is an asset that builds strong academics and community.
- Guest teacher program with teachers coming from China, Spain, and South America.
- At BHIS, literacy and writing are taught in English. Math, science, and integrated literacy are taught in Mandarin or Spanish depending on what program your child is in.
School Spirit and expectations
BHIS behavior expectations: Our staff uses Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), an evidence-based framework for developing positive behavior and creating a climate helpful for learning. We focus on our three school wide expectations: I am Safe, I am Kind, and I am Responsible. We nurture students’ abilities to solve conflicts and repair relationships through conflict resolutions.
