The Baton Rouge International School (BRIS) is an<br />

independent, non-profit school offering a rigorous college<br />

preparatory curriculum in a multilingual environment<br />

(English, French, Spanish and Chinese) from preschool<br />

through 12th grade. By engaging our students in this unique<br />

program of foreign language immersion, technology<br />

education, language arts, math and science, music, physical<br />

education, and the visual and performing arts, they are<br />

equipped with the tools and resources needed to succeed. Our<br />

highly qualified and diverse faculty includes certified native<br />

teachers. They are a daily example, bringing to light harmony<br />

in a world of differences. The Baton Rouge International School<br />

is currently authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate<br />

Middle Years Programme (MYP) for grades 6-10 and is working<br />

diligently towards obtaining authorization to offer the <strong>IB</strong><br />

Diploma Programme for grades 11-12. Currently, at the end of<br />

their studies, BRIS graduates will receive an American High<br />

School Diploma with Advanced Placement (AP).<br />

Accreditation<br />

The Baton Rouge International School is an <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> School<br />

authorized to offer the MYP. BRIS is also approved by the BESE<br />

and the Louisiana Department of Education/US Department of<br />

Education. In addition, BRIS is a full member of many<br />

professional/educational organizations in the United States<br />

and abroad.<br />

Campus Facilities<br />

The BRIS campus is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,<br />

USA. The modern facilities have been built on an 18 acre<br />

property in the heart of Baton Rouge. Its peaceful, green<br />

environment includes a lake visited by geese and falcons and<br />

plenty of space for playgrounds, fields for soccer and other<br />

sporting activities. The wooded site offers the tranquility<br />

needed for young minds to stay focused while enjoying<br />

campus life. BRIS recently completed a comprehensive<br />

campus master plan to design and build larger buildings to<br />

serve as administrative, educational and recreational facilities<br />

for the future. The design and planning reflects the innovative<br />

education that BRIS provides through contemporary and<br />

environmentally sustainable architecture.<br />
