After school

After-school programmes at BIS run across two slots. Free Sports Clubs run from 3:40 PM to 4:30 PM and are open to all students — these are designed to encourage participation and exploration of a wide variety of sports without any selection barrier. Advanced and Performance Clubs run from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM for students who are pursuing a sport seriously and want high-performance training with professional academy partnerships and competitive preparation.

Yes. The Free Sports Clubs (3:40 PM – 4:30 PM) are available to every BIS student regardless of ability or experience. The aim is to ensure every child has the opportunity to try different sports, discover what they enjoy, and stay physically active. BIS believes sports should be accessible to all students — not just those with prior experience or exceptional talent. The Advanced Performance Clubs for serious athletes have separate arrangements with the partner academies.

BIS offers a wide range of sports through its after-school programme including Football, Cricket, Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Tennis, Gymnastics, and Swimming. Several sports are run in partnership with internationally and nationally recognised academies — Football with LaLiga Football Schools, Basketball with NBA Basketball Schools, Swimming with White Shark Swimming Academy, Tennis with a nationally accredited coach, and Cricket with Ombrello Cricket Academy — ensuring students receive structured, quality coaching in their chosen sport.

All BIS sports coaches are experienced professionals in their respective sports. They are trained and certified through nationally accredited institutions and recognised by national sports federations. Coaches are trained in standardised teaching methods, safety protocols, and age-appropriate training practices. BIS prioritises coaches who focus on long-term athlete development — building fitness, technique, and confidence — rather than coaches focused solely on short-term competitive results.

Every BIS student's physical development is monitored through periodic health and fitness reports. These reports track growth parameters, stamina and cardiovascular fitness, coordination and agility, strength development, and overall well-being. This data is used by coaches to personalise training programmes, ensure safety and injury prevention, support long-term athletic development, and make informed decisions about a student's progression. Parents receive this information as part of BIS's commitment to holistic development.

The Advanced Performance Club (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) is for students who are serious about pursuing a sport at a higher level. It offers high-performance training, professional tie-ups with reputed sports academies, specialised coaching, and competitive preparation for inter-school, state, and national level competitions. Students in this club train with the same methods and standards used by developing athletes, with BIS's certified coaches guiding their long-term progression while keeping injury prevention and well-being central.

BIS offers a broad range of arts and creative activities after school including Visual Arts, Performing Arts (Dance and Music), Theatre, and Media. In Visual Arts, students progress from observing everyday objects to creating themed exhibitions. Performing Arts involves scripting, rehearsing, and staging original productions. ICT and Design Technology sessions teach students to design apps, write code, and prototype solutions to real-world problems using design thinking. All creative work is documented as portfolio evidence — developing creativity, originality, and problem-solving alongside technical skills.

Yes. BIS runs several technology and innovation clubs as part of its after-school programme. The Robotics Club focuses on building and programming robots. Coding Clubs introduce students to programming languages and computational thinking. Shark Tank sessions give students the opportunity to pitch entrepreneurial and business ideas, developing presentation, persuasion, and problem-solving skills. Design Thinking projects challenge students to innovate and develop practical solutions to real challenges. These clubs build skills that are directly relevant to university applications and future careers.

After-school activities at BIS are directly linked to the IB's CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) requirement for Diploma Programme students, and to the Community Project for MYP students. All creative and co-curricular work is documented as evidence of learning and contributes to a student's portfolio — demonstrating creativity, originality, physical engagement, service, and leadership to universities. Rather than being separate from academics, after-school activities at BIS are a purposeful part of building a credible, well-rounded student profile.

Yes. BIS students who excel in sports and arts are recognised at inter-school, state-level, and national-level competitions, earning medals and awards. The school's partnerships with professional academies — LaLiga, NBA, White Shark, and others — provide structured pathways for talented students to develop and compete. BIS also participates in cultural and arts showcases where student work is exhibited and performed. This recognition builds confidence, resilience, and a sense of achievement that extends well beyond the school environment.
