As part of the premier Nord Anglia global education network, we learn from the very best research and talent in the world at BSG. Thanks to our collaborations with top institutions of creativity, STEAM, and social impact, your child has unparalleled opportunities to mould their skills and knowledge with the best.
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.
Our young students of Years 2 and 3 experience a variety of activities which further develop their core values of learning. They gain the confidence to learn new skills, try different activities, and have fun.
Year 2 and 3 students can receive a certificate of recognition for displaying outstanding commitment to the core values of learning through each of their carousel activities throughout the year.
From their chosen ASAs, our students can go on to represent BSG at various events and competitions, such as the Model United Nations, Global Campus Debate League, sports teams, FOBISIA, chess competitions, or musical performances. They can even be chosen to take part in events connected with our world-class collaborations with The Juilliard School in New York and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
From Year 4 upwards, students who have participated in each of the four areas of (1) being creative, (2) being active, (3) contributing service, and (4) being academic throughout the year in the after-school programme will receive the CASA Award Certificate. This award showcases their high level of commitment, willingness to learn new skills, and an inner drive to succeed which can be used in applications to colleges, universities, and jobs for older students.

Some of our athletics ASAs have included:
Our sports teams follow the local sports seasons across all Guangzhou schools, and we typically organise a mix of training sessions and inter-school sports fixtures after school on Fridays by collaborating with other schools. We encourage our students to join try-outs for each sport team’s season, appropriate to their age group and performance selections based upon their aptitude and ability. Some of our sports teams also have ‘development squads’ for students who have a strong interest in building their skills but are unable to be offered a spot on the ‘first team’.
We offer additional optional, enrichment activities known as ‘Academies’ led by BSG teachers (or highly qualified external providers) after ASAs occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays or on Saturday mornings – outside normal school hours.

Popular academies include the Cambridge English EAL, other language development programmes, or additional activities in STEAM, the arts, or sports that boost our students’ abilities and give them further time to practice or hone their skills beyond class time.
We often add new academies each term, depending on the availability of external providers. There’s a small fee per term to participate.

CARING THAT DRIVES ACTION
A group of BSG students of all ages, parents, and teachers known as ‘Community Partnership’ holds dozens of projects and events to support charities in China. Our students have volunteered to help the homeless of Guangzhou every Saturday morning throughout the year and during school holidays as one of Community Partnership’s ongoing activities. Through their service, our students develop an acute understanding of the needs of the community.
