STEAM

STEAM is a 21st century educational approach that encourages your child to think differently. In collaboration with MIT, our STEAM programme develops dynamic students who can solve problems, work together, and challenge the norm.

In our dedicated STEAM Maker Space, students roll-up their sleeves and solve some of the trickiest puzzles facing the world today. Your child will tackle unique creative challenges set by MIT professors on our STEAM collaboration days, too. Learning in this way – and at a university standard – develops curiosity, resilience, and resourcefulness.

Our partnership with Nanjing Whisper Sailing sees our students take to the water on the beautiful Gaochun Lake.

Languages

At BSN, your child will learn alongside classmates from across the world. They'll do this both in school and on our Global Campus learning platform. We want our students to gain a better understanding what makes people from different cultures and communities unique, which prepares them for careers in an interconnected world. Learning languages is a big part of this.

Mandarin lessons are part of every student’s school day, and we offer fun, challenging classes for beginners and native speakers. We encourage our students to become proficient in multiple languages, including Spanish and German. And our highly experienced English as an Additional Language (EAL) team ensure students who need extra help quickly get up to speed.

OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

CHANGING THE WORLD

We encourage our students to make their mark on the world. Through one-of-a-kind learning experiences and collaborations, your child will become a confident, conscientious global citizen.

Our Beaver Scouts Group was the first of its kind in China, and remains one of our most popular activities. Our Scouts go on adventures in the Valley, our very own outdoor area of natural beauty. They also learn the importance of helping others. In 2021, the group raised 20,000 Yuan for Nanjing Shimao Rainbow, a palliative care centre for children.

While they’re with us, we encourage every student to take part in enrichment programmes that give them a global perspective, like the Model United Nations. Your child will also drive change in the local community. Each year, we organise and sponsor the illustrious British Ball of Nanjing, which raises money to support Hopeful Hearts.
