We help our students succeed through our partnerships with world-leading organisations.
Performing arts are so much more than what is seen on stage. They encourage self-expression and self-awareness, as well the development of empathy, confidence and cultural exploration. Our collaboration with Juilliard, the world-renowned performing arts school, combined with our outstanding dance, drama, and music programmes, inspires our students’ creativity, team-work and resilience.
The Juilliard School is recognised around the world as a leader in the performing arts; our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts programme that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.
At BVIS HCMC, learning stretches beyond the classroom. After the school bell rings at home time, our students join a range of unmissable residential programmes which encourage social responsibility - and are packed with fun!
Our global trips and local excursions give our students life-changing experiences, and help them build friendships that will last a lifetime.

An opportunity to explore the humanity's giant leap
Our students have the special opportunity to visit NASA's Space Center, thanks to the collaboration between BVIS and The Village School, a member school of the Nord Anglia Education, located in Houston, Texas. The trip provides our students with unique knowledge and experiences, nurturing their passion for science and inspiring them to pursue big dreams in the future. The trip's exciting itinerary includes:
• Visiting NASA's Space Center in Houston and the Mission Control
• Experiencing astronaut training
• Visiting the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the aquarium, and the Fine Arts Museum
• Watching a soccer match of the Houston Dynamo at the stadium
• Touring universities such as the University of Houston and University of St. Thomas
The residential trips organised by BVIS create opportunities for students to broanden their knowledge when they set foot into new places and explore surrounding nature. We incorporate many interesting activities and games throughout the journey, encouraging our students to actively participate and practice important soft skills such as problem solving, information exchange in teams and independent thinking.
Building stronger relationships and embarking on new friendships during this exciting opportunity and experience creates long lasting memories, that all will fondly look back on in the future. Read further detail about the trip here.

SOCIAL PURPOSE
We believe it’s important to nurture a generation of wise, responsible global citizens, who feel empowered to make positive differences to their communities.
Our students understand that their success is not solely reliant on their academic achievements, but also on their character and actions. Our development projects both in and beyond the school environment all revolve around the values of care, respect, and integrity.
Our Global Campus platform also challenges and inspires our students through Global Goals, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the UNICEF Global Challenge.
