A Caring Network
The very essence of BCS is the strength of our rigorous academic program that empowers students to think independently, critically, and creatively. Small classes make it possible for teachers to be involved in each student’s development. Our faculty members are professionally trained, with many holding IB accreditation. The individual attention goes far beyond the classroom—our dedicated teachers, advisors, houseparents, staff, and coaches provide a strong network of support, mentorship, and guidance. Their passion for BCS and its community promotes a positive, collaborative learning environment.

Culture of Leadership
the diversity of our student body is one of our greatest strengths. International students make up nearly 40 percent of our population, and in recent years have represented over 40 different countries. We are an inclusive community welcoming students of all backgrounds. The exchanges that take place on a daily basis allow our students to learn about each other’s traditions, values, languages, and beliefs. BISHOP’S COLLEGE SCHOOL | 43
leadership
Each year, BCS offers a variety of opportunities so that every student can experience leadership during their time here. Becoming involved in various clubs, activities, committees, excursions, or applying for positions such as Carnival Committee, Prefect, House Captain, or Head of House are just a few examples of how students can develop their leadership skills.
44 | Bcs Bears
BISHOP’S COLLEGE SCHOOL | 45
beyond the classroom BCS has a strong culture of student leadership. We are committed to helping students become well-rounded individuals who feel empowered to assume leadership roles. Our involvement with global organizations encourages students to volunteer for service projects locally and internationally while cultivating skills and a compassion for others. These experiences inspire our students to pursue a lifelong commitment of engagement in their communities.
