| The Barnstable Intermediate School is committed to the teaching of pre-adolescents in a manner which promotes academic excellence while cultivating individual strengths and talents, as well as social, emotional, and physical growth, and well being. We are dedicated to the establishment of high expectations and we encourage students to develop an intellectual curiosity and commitment to learning. We believe these goals are best achieved in a safe and supportive environment that celebrates cultural diversity, and where students learn to be creative, critical and collaborative thinkers who assume responsibility for their own decisions and behavior. The BIS community strives to create an environment in which the student moves toward becoming a more self reliant, disciplined and caring young adult with the goal of becoming a responsible citizen both within and outside of the school community. |
