School Policies
At the British International School – Gaza, our policies form the backbone of our community. They ensure a safe, inclusive, and academically rigorous environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Serving as a roadmap for our daily actions and interactions, these policies help us maintain order, promote fairness, and uphold the values we hold dear.
Our policies are designed to create a culture of growth, responsibility, and respect. They set clear expectations for student behavior and academic integrity, allowing students to develop both personally and academically. By fostering accountability among students, staff, and parents, our policies create a shared understanding of rights, responsibilities, and consequences. This clarity promotes fairness and strengthens the sense of justice within our school community.
Inclusivity and respect for diversity are at the heart of our approach. Our policies strictly prohibit discrimination and bullying, ensuring that all individuals -regardless of background, race, gender, or abilities- feel welcomed and valued. This commitment helps us build a positive atmosphere where every student can reach their full potential.
Parents are an integral part of the educational journey, and our policies provide a transparent framework for their involvement. They help parents understand their roles in supporting their child’s education, participating in school activities, and contributing to important decision-making processes.
Finally, our policies are not static. They are reviewed and updated regularly to remain relevant to the changing needs of our school community and the evolving global educational landscape. This ongoing process ensures that we continue to provide a nurturing, innovative, and future-ready environment for all members of the BIS Gaza family.
