Team Clubs & After School

Team Clubs & After School

At The British International School of New York, we are delighted to offer a robust program of competitive sports and a rich variety of after-school clubs.

 

These activities are designed to expose students to new skills, support athletic development, and foster new friendships. Clubs and teams change from term to term and are always age-appropriate, with some options not available to our youngest students.

 

From autumn soccer in Central Park to winter basketball games, our BIS-NY Bulldogs represent the school proudly in a range of competitive sports. These events help build school spirit and a strong sense of teamwork.

Students also enjoy creative and enriching clubs such as Debate, Robotics, Ballet, and many more. There is something for everyone beyond the classroom.

 

One standout initiative is the BIS-NY Green Team. This passionate, student-led group is committed to improving sustainability within our school and in the wider community.
