Our students get superb exam results, but academic excellence is measured by so much more. Success at BSN is defined by how our students learn and grow – and how they go on to change the world.

REMARKABLE RESULTS

Your child’s success is our top priority. We want them to achieve exceptional academic results and leave here ready to change the world. That’s why our students follow the English National Curriculum, including IGCSEs and A-levels. These qualifications set the standard for international education and provide pathways to higher education across the globe.

We’re incredibly proud of our students’ results. Every year, 100% of our students pass their A-levels. And in 2021, 75% achieved an A*. This compares to the UK average of 19%. This outstanding success takes our students to the best universities in the world, including Cambridge, the University of Toronto, and KAIST.

Academic excellence

At BSN, all our students – from early years through to high school – follow the English National Curriculum. Used by more than 30,000 schools worldwide, the curriculum is globally respected by the best universities.

Every step of your child’s education is personalised to their passions, talents, and ambitions. We cultivate a lifelong love of learning, laying the foundations for them to grow into confident, kind, independent learners. 

Our students’ academic results show this approach works. We have a 100% pass rate at A-level. And in the past two years, two in three BSN students have achieved scores high enough to gain entry to the world’s top 100 universities.

We strive for excellence in every aspect of our academic provision. Our global languages department, for example, developed an award-winning programme that has seen two of our students achieve ‘best in the world’ IGCSE results in Mandarin.

Advanced learning environment

Every aspect of our campus has been thoughtfully designed to maximise your child’s learning. In safe, age-appropriate spaces, we stimulate creativity and instil a love of discovery and exploration.

Our specialist learning areas, which include state-of-the-art dance studios and technology-enriched labs, support our world-leading performing arts and STEAM programmes. Our sports hall, playing fields and aquatic facilities enable athletes to train and compete against teams from Nanjing, China and Southeast Asia. And in the Valley – our one-of-a-kind outdoor learning space – students connect with nature and learn about the world around them.

Nestled in a quiet neighbourhood of the Jiangning district, our gorgeous campus is surrounded by the picturesque hills of the Jianjunshan Scenic Area. Every morning, families walk together down tree-lined streets, where our teachers are waiting to welcome your child to class. We even have a school coffee shop where parents can relax and feel part of our vibrant community.

Exceptional learning experiences

Learning beyond the classroom is a vital part of our students’ development. We organise a range of inspiring educational and cultural trips in Nanjing, from local museums to social enterprise projects in rural communities. Each activity is carefully planned to broaden perspectives and add an extra dimension to your child’s learning.

From Year 4, all our students embark on week-long expeditions in China and beyond. Your child will go to some amazing places, including Fujian, Cambodia, and Tanzania, building their confidence and sense of independence.

Of course, your child’s wellbeing is at the heart of every experience we offer. Our highly qualified pastoral team provide the personalised care, support and guidance students need to thrive.

Our social purpose

We encourage our students to make their mark on the world, using their creativity, ingenuity and passion to create change locally and globally.

We empower your child through both social and environmental projects in the curriculum and on our enrichment programmes. Our exclusive collaboration with UNICEF opens our students’ eyes to what’s happening around them – including the United Nations' Sustainable Development Agenda – and encourages them to stand up for what they believe in.

BSN was the first school in China to have a Beaver Scouts Group, and it continues to be one of our most popular activities. Our Scouts learn the importance of helping others and seeking out new experiences, regularly going on adventures in the Valley, our very own outdoor area of natural beauty. They also arrange charity fundraising events. In 2021, our students raised 20,000 Yuan for Nanjing Shimao Rainbow, a palliative care centre for critically ill children.
