Head of School ’ s Note
Our school ’ s mission , its whole reason for being , is to help young people to impact their communities in a sustainable way that benefits everyone . We want to build on the work we set out when we were founded . But the idea of what a cosmopolitan education might be has changed as much as our city , the country and the world around us .
As a Beijing-based international learning community , our people and geography give us a truly unique perspective : we know what it looks like to deepen our local roots while extending our perspectives of the world around us . BCIS is our community , its reputation as a warm , friendly place to learn and thrive continues to distinguish our school . That ’ s why the theme of this Xuexi is relevant and timely :
My BCIS , My home .
Enjoy the articles in this issue that explore the myriad of ways we feel such a strong affinity with BCIS . We are very fortunate to be part of a community that is so connected , so much like home .
Sincerely ,
Tom Egrton BCIS Head of School
