Student Life
Athletics
Athletics is a powerful tool for personal growth.
Beyond physical fitness, staying active bolsters mental well-being, fosters confidence and builds resilience. Athletes develop important life skills, like time management, commitment and accountability, that serve them in their education, careers and communities.
At BSS, we offer a variety of sports and levels of play. Whether they’re trying a sport for the first time or training for elite competition, BSS students have the opportunity to build their athletic skills and grow as a competitor. Our focus isn’t just on winning, but on progress, perseverance and being a team player. The goal is to get girls in the game, and keep them playing for life.
Why? Because these experiences are a strong foundation for leadership - and a path towards gender equity. Research shows that female athletes are more likely to take on leadership roles across sectors and advance further in their careers. When girls discover their voice, strength and capabilities, they can change the world.
