Welcome to XCL International School
Dear Parents, Students and Friends of BXCL,
At the centre of BXCL are our students with their own needs, dreams, successes and challenges. We believe in the traditional values of good manners and respectful behaviour to develop in our students a sense of inner decency, honesty and integrity. These are life skills of the utmost importance.
At BXCL our pupils always come first. The school offers a friendly, personal, caring and student-centred learning environment where your child will be known, and their learning tailored to maximise their development. Our aim is to provide a level of academic challenge, which will enable each pupil to realise their potential, while ensuring that they are happy, confident and enthusiastic learners.
Teachers and parents play key roles in this development and the partnership between them is of paramount importance. We will always be there hand in hand with your child as they progress along their learning journey to adulthood.
Our emphasis is on learning and how students learn, rather than just content, and we place a great deal of importance on our students’ ability to work collectively, as well as independently, in developing their thinking to challenge and be challenged. We place equal importance on children’s intellectual, personal and social development. We concentrate on four core areas: academic excellence; development of performing arts, commitment to sport; and engagement within our community.
Our website shows you the wonderful facilities at BXCL, however, schools are not about buildings, they are about people. It is the quality of the people, the teaching and the support staff, which makes a school special. At BXCL we have committed and friendly professionals who bring a depth of international knowledge with them.
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you directly, by email duncan.grice@bisp.edu.my , or we can zoom call. Our doors are always open.
Warmest Regards
Duncan Grice
Principal
