This year at IBS, we really had two «back to school » days. The first one, of course, in September, and then a historic one after the October holidays – the day we moved into our new IBS Campus. After more than a decade of legal and administrative battles, several modifications of our building plans due to new security laws, and lots of « red tape », I am pleased to say that we are officially installed in our new buildings, just in time for the winter season. Our new 7000 m2 campus includes an academic and administrative building, 400-seat aphitheatre and a multi-sports complex. This new campus will provide us with the most modern facilities and learning environment for our students. The challenge in not over though as we will be starting construction now on the outdoor sports field, the heated swimming pool and not to mention the refurbishing of the cafeteria and the new primary school building.
I would like to take this opportunity again to thank all of you for your patience and understanding during this past year of construction and transition. Hopefully, you have had a chance to visit our new campus. If not, please do not hesitate to contact us so we can organise a private tour for you. And above all, we hope that our students are happy in their new school and that the new school environment will provide additional motivation for them to concentrate on their studies and succeed, both academically and socially. par J.M.
