Case Study: British International School, Cairo achieves higher-quality university applications with BridgeU

BridgeU was an enormous asset to BISC's Assistant Director of Sixth Form, as he transitioned from Head of Mathematics into guidance counseling

The British International School, Cairo (BISC) faced the challenge of implementing a university and careers guidance program for its students while its new Assistant Director of Sixth Form, Michael Francis, managed a heavy teaching timetable with no prior experience in university admissions counseling. To support their students applying to global destinations, the school needed a centralized platform to administer the entire process efficiently.

By implementing BridgeU, the school empowered its counselor to manage the application process effectively alongside his teaching duties. The platform provided essential training and support, enriched the student experience, and led to students submitting higher quality, more informed applications to a wider range of global universities. As a result of using BridgeU, the school streamlined its reference and document sending processes, met all application deadlines early, and gained greater visibility over the entire counseling program.
