- Our son is 8 years in BISP, next year graduating the IB program. We are so lucky being a part of the school community, having all the experiences in all offered sports, singing , art and foreign languages! Growing in multinational, tolerant, warm hearted environment, learning to give, to think criticaly, to enjoy friendship, active life style and celebrate diversity has been the best choice of school and we would do it again!

Thank you for creating a community in which every child feels special, for creating an academic environment which lets kids conquer the world and for giving big dreams to little ones.Written February 25, 2023
- This is a very warm school, the relationship between teachers and students is not so much teachers and students, but more like family. I have two children who have been studying in this school since kindergarten.

GSN is without a doubt the best school in Ningbo I will ever have the pleasure of having contact with.

It is also the strong team of staff throughout the school and their sheer dedication to their job that will allow my kids to continue to grow and develop in their best way!Written February 25, 2023

Through Bryant and after-school activities, I was introduced to sports like badminton and community service programmes like Angel House orphanage visits, and through various societies, I was able to explore the world of dance and become involved in interesting Mathematics. What excited me the most was being able to start my own dance performance project with friends, and through directing this Project MAUM, I gained invaluable experiences not only in choreography but also in creating theatre, editing music, combining different art forms and collaborating with various people.Written February 25, 2023
