accommodates students from farms, small towns, and the large summer
resort of Ocean City. As a result of our environmental
initiatives, our school has been recognized by the Governor as a model
Maryland Green School. BIS received the top award for Energy Efficiency
in the county in 2013 through 2015. BIS, an Arts Immersion School, has
been recognized as a Kennedy Center National School of Excellence in

An After School Academy provides academic and arts programs for our 5th and 6th grade students. The students in our performing arts
programs present musicals at least two times a year. Our school motto is
"Believe, Imagine, Succeed."
Mission Statement
The mission of Worcester County Northern Schools, a diverse and
growing community, is to provide a rigorous, sequential, and balanced
curriculum for all students to become responsible life-long learners.
This will be accomplished through instructional excellence in
partnership with family and community in a safe, caring, and
well-maintained environment. We will recognize the uniqueness of each
student's role as a productive citizen in an ever-changing world.
School Highlights and Awards
Learning is enhanced when the arts are infused into curriculum in ways that are natural and relevant.
The BIS and Beyond After School Academy is offered to 5th and
6th graders immediately following the regular school day. Approximately
30 academies are available during each of the three 8-week sessions. The
