Question+of+the+Month

=October 2011:= =How did we help you and your children make the transition to our school? What could we do better next time?=

ANSWER: When I first contacted the school via email from the States, the response was very timely and thorough, and I immediately felt comfortable with corresponding with the Administration and Staff to get all of our questions answered. I emailed the Principal and she responded and cc'd the school nurse and curriculum experts so I had contact names for my various questions.

I do feel like the website could be much more robust! There is not enough information about this school on the website. Often, this is the first place people will check to get information. There is a lot of opportunity here for improvement! Some additions that would be helpful include:

1. Detail on curriculum and classes offered 2. Host Nation program 3. Virtual highschool information 4. Technology at the school - computer labs, smart boards etc...show pictures and describe how much is available to the students! 5. Extra Curriculars - activites and sports offered, seasons they play, tournaments they have travelled to...etc! 6. Online text books available 7. Athletic Driector contact name and email 8. Drama Program 9. Counseling Department 10. Support provided for Seniors for their college search 11. Extra Curricular groups and how they travel to different countries!! 12. PTSO events and support

The BS is a wonderful place for our children - the website has lots to BRAG about and it should become more robust so that new parents can get a better feel for all that is offered!!
