Studying at the World’s Top Universities: The Journey of Students from The British International School of Barranquilla

In today’s global and competitive world, an international and holistic education can make all the difference. The British International School (BIS) in Barranquilla has become one of the city’s most respected bilingual, calendar B schools—shaping students with the academic and personal foundation to gain admission to top universities around the world.

From Early Years, BIS students are immersed in a fully bilingual environment where English is not just a language, but a tool for developing social, communication, and critical thinking skills. As they move through primary school, students begin learning a third language—French—further strengthening their international profile and cultural awareness.

In secondary school, students enter the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP), which begins to shape them into IB learners with key attributes such as inquiry, international-mindedness, critical thinking, effective communication, and responsible decision-making.

In their final school years, students take on the rigorous IB Diploma Programme (DP), allowing them to select subjects that match their interests and strengths. This level of academic personalization not only enhances their learning but prepares them to succeed at top universities across the globe.

Thanks to their strong academic foundation, multilingual skills, and values-based education, BIS students gain admission to prestigious universities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy, and Australia. Many also receive scholarships or university credits through the IB Diploma, reducing both the time and cost of higher education.

With its world-class educational approach, BIS shapes not just academically excellent students, but global citizens—prepared to adapt, lead, and thrive in any setting.

The British International School of Barranquilla is more than a high-level bilingual school—it’s a gateway to a world of limitless opportunities.
