Teams, Clubs and After School - British International School Of New York

Designed to offer exposure to new skills and areas of interest, keep those who are strong in sports stretched, as well as to encourage new friendships, our clubs vary from term to term. All activities are designed to be enjoyable and age appropriate, therefore some options are not available to our youngest students.

There is a Late Club option for all students that runs until 5.30pm to help manage pick up for working families, keeping students engaged and entertained at the end of the day.

Our Breakfast Club from 7.45am offers an early drop off option for those who need to be at work earlier than the usual school start time of 8.15am would allow.

After School Care

I like doing sports like surfing and snowboarding and have really enjoyed learning the cello. This year I was invited to play with the pit crew orchestra for the BIS-NY production of Bugsy Malone. I am also a member of the String Ensemble and have even played a solo at Speech day in previous years. I am a strong swimmer and have enjoyed participating in BIS-NY sports including basketball and soccer. Thank you to the BIS-NY community for making all of this possible.
