EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Your child will enjoy exceptional enrichment experiences away from the classroom. From sports and Beaver Scouts to drama, dance and music, we offer activities, clubs and trips that open up a world of possibilities.

Toddler Group

Our Toddler Group is a regular and relaxed meeting for children aged 0 - 3 years old, accompanied by a parent. During this time, children engage in activities together with their parents, while socializing with the other families at the same time. This is a great opportunity to get these young learners into classroom and exploring the extraordinary world of education. The sessions are led by our experienced Early Year teachers.

Performing arts
Every student is encouraged to express their artistic talents. Through our exclusive collaboration with The Juilliard School, your child will take to the stage in our outdoor amphitheatre and move to the beat in our dance studio. They can also learn an instrument, star in the school orchestra, or take part in the ‘BSN Idol’ talent show.

STEAM
Our science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM) programme sparks students’ imaginations, inspiring curiosity through problem solving and challenge. Your child can join robotics and coding clubs or solve some of the world’s most perplexing puzzles in our STEAM Maker Space.

Sports
Your child can do what they love – or try something different – through our ‘BSN and Community’ sports programme. From fencing and football to tennis and Taekwondo, there really is something for everyone. Our BSN Foxes teams compete in leagues and tournaments, too, showcasing their skills on the national and international stage.

Beaver Scouts
The first of its kind in China, our Beaver Scouts Group is still one of our most popular activities. Our Scouts go on adventures in the Valley – our very own outdoor area of natural beauty – and learn the importance of community and helping others. This includes raising money for charities like Nanjing Shimao Rainbow, a palliative care centre for critically ill children.

Trips and expeditions
Our expeditions and residential trips are truly life-changing experiences. In Tanzania and Cambodia, our students make a genuine difference in local communities. Our collaboration with UNICEF takes our students to UN headquarters in New York. And on week-long trips to Fujian and Lijiang, your child will develop a passion for history and culture.

Uniform
Our students wear the BSN uniform with pride. Your child will look smart and feel part of a close-knit student community, too.
