The BSN’s mission is to prepare young people with the knowledge, skills and characteristics that they need to become successful global citizens who can make an impact and help to build a better world.

We do this in three ways:

Academic Excellence

We meet each student’s individual needs and maximise their love of learning, progress and achievement across a range of subjects.

Breadth of Experience

We provide every student with opportunities to participate in activities and experiences, both within and outside the classroom, so that they can discover and develop their unique talents, creativity and interests.

Character & Community

We celebrate our diverse international community, helping students to develop a sense of pride, confidence and compassion and encouraging them to challenge themselves, build their resilience and play their part in improving society.
