Our collaborations with world-leading institutions will help your child develop important life-skills through exciting global projects
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 programs, inspires our students’ creativity, teamwork, and resilience.
The Juilliard School is recognized around the world as a leader in the performing arts. Our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts program that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.
Our global programme empowers students to develop essential life skills through the discipline of sport, guided by the world’s leading sports education institution.
We equip students with the tools to succeed both on and off the field by combining elite athletic training with personal development, wellbeing, and mindset coaching. Altogether, this builds their resilience, confidence, and leadership skills.
Our teachers also benefit from professional development led by IMG Academy’s expert coaches, ensuring they can inspire and support students in reaching their full potential.
Physical Education is embedded into every student's schedule. Starting with fine and gross motor skills at age 3 to learning the skills of as many sports as possible, Athletics is a fun adventure that ignites passions. If students enjoy a particular sport, there is an extensive extracurricular offering which afford students the opportunity to play as part of a team. The three main sports at BISC-SL are Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball. In addition to our state-of-the-art gymnasium, we also have an outdoor turf field with a beautiful backdrop of the Chicago skyline. Our students in Middle School and High School are encouraged to participate in our team sports through an inclusive approach. They learn the basic skills before developing more complex tactical play. Students develop their resilience, discover the meaning of sportsmanship, and commit to a cause greater than themselves. They play in the Chicago Area Middle Schools League and are a member of the Illinois High School Association.
Children benefit from varied clubs, catered to each year group that promote sportsmanship, creativity, community and competition.
With over 30 clubs to choose from, there's something for everyone at BISC-South Loop. Whether you're a budding artist, a science enthusiast, or a sports fanatic, you'll find a community that shares your interests. Explore your talents, make new friends, and create lasting memories.
Model United Nations educates High School students about the United Nations and contemporary international issues. Students gather to simulate the work of the United Nations General Assembly and various subsidiary committees. We create positive experiences through a conference that focuses on collaboration and cooperative learning.
We will help your child find the best ways to look after their own well-being and develop resilience, so they have strong life skills to thrive.
Our students can access the Nord Anglia Education Global Campus online platform, which contains a wealth of resources on well-being and resilience to keep our students’ minds and bodies fit and flexible, ready to take on new challenges at school and beyond.
Mindfulness is embedded across our Primary and Middle School curriculum. This involves weekly discussion-based sessions with teachers where students reflect on themselves and their peers’ social, emotional, and mental well-being.
