Welcome to Bertram American International School.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”
-Nelson Mandela

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”
-Albert Einstein

Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of mine worker can become the head of the mine, that a child of a farm worker can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.

Bertram American International School is a co-educational institution which uses Nigerian-American integrated curricula.

The school was founded with the object of providing American incorporated education into that of Nigeria to give our products a balanced 21st century relevant education to make our products well informed and prepared for the global labour market.

B.A.I.S

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

Every organization, irrespective of the industry has a particular thing that distinguishes it from others. At Bertram we want to be known and identified by the American standards. Further, our learners are identified by the American dream, practice and beyond. By this we train our kids to be confident, exhibit high analytical skills, understand different major cultures around, and above all believe in themselves with the 'can do spirit'. All these are embedded in our curriculum which is our guide.

CORE VALUES

We crave for the top-notch in everything we do in B.A.I.S. If we have the following as options; weak, good, very good and perfect we are always bound by our vision to settle for nothing but ‘perfect’ ‘(if possible).This cut across all our services and our products. That is to say no room for mediocrity in our space.

We are sincere in our decisions without being bias or double standard.

At B.A.I.S, we believe that a happy mother transcends to a happy child. This is why we put human resource structures in place to make our mentors (teachers who are at the centre of our mission) happy to give their best towards achieving our goals. Our teachers are trained to command respect from their various colleagues, students and the parents of our learners.

At B.A.I.S, we believe that the client is a king, which is why we have a 24 hour feedback mechanism to always track our deliverables and make amends in serving you better.

Respect they say is reciprocal. At B.A.I.S, we believe respect to one another is the beginning of social integration and fostering of unity which must be a guide to all.

 

We believe that success needs be celebrated likewise failures. We see failure as a platform on which one prepares for a greater task ahead for a big win.

Welcome to BERTRAM AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, where every child is a star.

We believe that every child has limitless potentials and opportunities once properly guided along the lines of their interests. I am really proud of our school and delighted that you are considering enrolling your child here. This is a place with state-of-the-art educational and technological resources and amenities for all students, irrespective of their peculiar learning needs. We consider parental involvement and collaboration as key to the child’s academic performance.

Our curriculum arms our students with future ready skills and competences that go beyond the traditional focus on meeting academic needs of the students to providing a holistic, all-round education that addresses the “total” child.

At BAIS, we are nurturing the next generation of leaders who are aware of their purpose as national and global citizens, with a strong foundation of Christian and moral ethics. These equip them not only to become leaders in their communities upon graduation, but also enable them succeed in a culturally diverse community in spite of their abilities or disabilities. A unique feature that distinguishes our school is that we offer facilities to Special Needs Children within the same environment as regular students.

BAIS is welcoming, provides a safe and uniquely serene and spacious educational environment. Our students are made to feel special as a matter of right, not privilege. We have zero tolerance for bullying, harassment and intimidation.

Our faculty and staff are professionals and are passionate about children’s learning: gifted, normal, special needs. Consistency, collaboration, integrity, hardwork, patience, high moral values, diligence and a robust sense of self-worth are some of our values and ethics, and we inculcate same in our students.
