Values

Nurture

Community Minded

Take pride in being part of something bigger than yourself. Choose compassion and forgiveness and demonstrate generosity.

Bravery

Stand up and be counted and stand for others, be risk takers learning from mistakes and showing resilience.

Integrity

Be responsible for your own actions and behave honestly, respectfully and ethically.

Self-Reflection

NCBIS was established in 1978 by a group of parents, most of whom were connected with the World Health Organisation (WHO). The school has operated since that time as a “not-for-profit organisation” under the auspices of the Heliopolis Society for the Cultural and Social Care of English Speaking Foreigners (‘The Society’), and is managed through a Board of Directors elected from amongst the parent community.
