Music at BSG

The Music Department at BSG offers world-class instruction supported by state-of-the-art facilities, including a performance auditorium. Students engage with music theory, instrumental practice, and performance opportunities from a young age, cultivating appreciation and musical talent.

Visual Arts

Our vibrant Visual Arts programme encourages students to explore artistic expression through multiple mediums and techniques. Learners are guided to think like artists—observing the world creatively and reflecting critically through their work.

Drama

From improvisation to script work, BSG’s Drama programme blends theoretical learning with experiential workshops. Students perform in plays, take part in drama festivals, and build confidence in public speaking, collaboration, and self-expression.

Sports

Sport is an essential pillar of school life at BSG. With opportunities for individual and team sports, our programme promotes physical health, teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Whether through inter-school competitions or recreational play, students of all ages are encouraged to push their boundaries and strive for excellence.

Student Leadership 

BSG cultivates leadership through a variety of formal and informal opportunities. Students serve as mentors, club leaders, house captains, or event organisers—roles that align with the International British Curriculum and encourage intercultural awareness, service, and global citizenship.

Beyond the Classroom

Our extra-curricular programmes are more than just activities—they are a cornerstone of the BSG educational experience. They empower students to explore their passions, develop their identity, and connect with the world around them.

We believe in helping every student uncover their talents, chase their curiosity, and grow into confident, capable global citizens.
