2022 - 2023 Course Guide
This Course Guide was developed to provide brief descriptions of courses offered for the upcoming school year. Elective courses are selected by students and are subject to meeting a minimum enrollment and teacher availability. Additional courses may be offered closer to the start of the school year, which include but are not limited to postadvanced placement (Post-AP), Math, and Senior Capstone courses.
The course descriptions are organized by grade level or type (e.g. electives, world languages, etc).

BISV Upper Virtual Campus Tour
Our physical campus is currently closed due to the current health crisis and we are not offering in-person tours at this time.

BISV Upper Bus Transportation
Our transportation routes serve the geographic areas that are most populated by our community. Please note that every year all routes are subject to change or cancellation due to low registration.
Click here to download the 2022 - 2023 BISV Upper Transportation Guide
NOTE: For BISV Lower, transportation will not be determined until year two of operation, as is tradition for our schools. For a full transportation service to be offered, we must collect data from enrolled families to determine stops, and amount of seats needed. Then we would work with our transportation provider to determine routes and cost, then present these costs to our families and see how many are interested. We won’t have an established enrolled community of families until late spring, which does not provide us enough time to complete these steps for year one.
We are looking into offering a route between our Sunnyvale and San Jose campuses for our sibling families in the first year. After offering to sibling families, if any seats remain, we will open it up to other families as well.

Bobcat Swag Bag Event Invite
In a traditional school year, we would host a New Student Mixer to celebrate all families who received an acceptance to our program. This year, we invite you and your family to our Bobcat Swag Bag event on Wednesday, March 23 from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM.
Families will drive through our San Jose Campus and receive a Bobcat Bag full of goodies and swag from our Heads of School and Admissions Team to celebrate your acceptance!
Please review the map below to know where to pick up your bag - we will have two stations open to help with traffic flow. Remain in your car and we will happily hand you your swag bag. Please do not park, as this will allow us to have a smooth event with no traffic backup in the parking lot.
Please note the campus will not be open at this time and this is a drive-through event.
