WHAT IS BIS?

What Does “BIS” Mean?

According to the Turkish Language Association (TDK), the term “BIS” refers to the repetition of something admired or appreciated.

At BIS Schools, we place this meaning at the heart of our educational philosophy.

For us, “a second time” symbolises the understanding that education begins within the family and wider community, and that school builds upon this foundation as a complementary and strengthening force. Our role at BIS is to reinforce the values children bring from home with knowledge, skills and meaningful learning experiences within a structured school environment.

With over 39 years of educational experience and consistently high-quality standards, we are committed to delivering the same strong and trusted educational approach across our Turkish school divisions.
