Info

WITHDRAWAL FROM BIS When a student is to be withdrawn permanently from school, parents of students leaving BIS should inform the Admissions office in writing as soon as they know they will withdraw. This will enable the Upper School Office to prepare leaving documents. Before such documents can be issued, a withdrawal form must be prepared which checks on such things as class texts, library books, outstanding fees, forwarding addresses and so forth. Since preparing multiple copies of leaving documents, past reports and official transcripts is a time consuming task, we will require up to 10 working days to prepare official leaving documents.
