BSIS classes run to a structured syllabus. Within each grade level, you will study under a variety of instructors working from lesson plans. Classes are planned to teach both techniques and an understanding of the principles underlying them. The following resources can assist with keeping track of and remembering what you have covered:
- Feedback – tell us how we can be better, or about something that you enjoyed. Maybe give our instructors an idea of where to improve, or just say thanks for a good lesson.
- Log Book
- Class Notes
- Syllabus List (with video links and translations)
- Study and Training Links
- Lending Library
- Assesment Information (documents to assist with preparing for assessment)
- New Instructors (documents for new instructors and administrators)
