PARENT ESSENTIALS

Our students explore their athletic abilities outside the classroom through a wide range of sports and physical activities suitable for all levels of experience. To help all our students stay active and healthy, we have all major competitive sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, and swimming, as well as fun leisure options like yoga, dance, and Cross Fit HIIT. 

Our beautiful indoor and outdoor facilities give our students a wide range of spaces to compete and play in. We have a multi-use sports hall, dance studio, cardio fitness and weights rooms, indoor heated swimming pool, dedicated Early Years swimming pool, indoor basketball courts, outdoor full size football pitch, and air-filtered sports dome for all seasons.

Our BSB Bears and Aqua Bears sports teams compete with success at a high level within the Beijing schools’ sports network and through ACAMIS, ISAC, FOBISIA, and NAE competitions for international schools across China and greater Asia.

With over 60 nationalities represented in our school, our students speak many languages, which contributes to the vibrancy and rich texture of our diverse school community. Our students are learning Chinese, French, German, Spanish, or Korean. We also provide extra support to our non-native English speakers through our ‘English as an Additional Language’ (EAL) department, helping them to practice and quickly become skilled communicators. 

Our thriving academic clubs include the World Scholar’s Club, Maths Competitions, History Clinic, Bookworms Club, Chinese Panda Reading Club, and Eco-Committee, among others. 

Model United Nations (MUN) is a popular choice among our secondary students, where they engage in the simulation activities of the United Nations, practicing their skills in diplomacy, international relations, and public speaking, and increasing their awareness of global issues.

Supported by our NAE–Juilliard Performing Arts Programme, our students participate in a wide range of Co-Curricular activities that encourage discovery-based learning including choir, orchestra, ensembles, Dance Club, and Drama Club. To expand their musical education, our students also partake in a wide variety of music lessons with bespoke instruments.  

Every year, we invite budding actors and singers to audition for a part in the cast and crew of our annual school production. Our supportive, creative, and highly professional environment allows our students to blossom and discover their passions.
