The British International School of Charlotte is part of Nord Anglia Education. This global network provides access to international resources and collaboration for BIS Charlotte.
The British International School of Charlotte (BIS Charlotte) on the Ballantyne campus serves students from 18 months to 18 years and is part of Nord Anglia Education. It uses a blended curriculum: Primary follows the English National Curriculum with IPC; Lower Secondary combines EN with IMYC; Upper Secondary offers the IB Diploma. In Years 12–13, students take six IB subjects (three Higher Level and three Standard Level), including a literature-based language course, a second language, social science, science, mathematics, and an elective. Classes are small—about ten students per teacher and taught by UK-trained staff. Facilities include a Maker Space with 3D printers, VR, drones, Spheros, and programmable robots; the IB Suite for Years 12–13; a dance studio and a Black Box Drama Studio; a gym, tennis and basketball courts, and an athletics field. MIT STEAM activities and performing arts enrich the extracurricular program. Nord Anglia programs with Juilliard, MIT, and UNICEF provide opportunities.
