CHILDREN PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN CO-CONSTRUCTING AN EMERGENT CURRICULUM THAT NURTURES THEIR GROWING SENSE OF IDENTITY, AGENCY AND BELONGING. TEACHERS ENGAGE IN ONGOING OBSERVATION, REFLECTION AND CRITICAL THINKING TO BRING BREADTH AND DEPTH TO LEARNING EXPERIENCES. FAMILY PARTNERSHIPS ARE ENCOURAGED THROUGH MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE, AUTHENTIC INTERACTION AND MUTUAL SUPPORT. OUR COMMUNITY DRAWS STRENGTH FROM THE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND BACKGROUNDS OF OUR JOYFUL CHILDREN, DEDICATED TEACHERS AND ENGAGED FAMILIES.

TOGETHER THESE CONSTITUTE THE SINGULAR PROGRAM OF THE SCHOOL. BSNS PROVIDES SCHOLARSHIPS TO FAMILIES ON THE BASIS OF FINANCIAL NEED THROUGH A FUND RAISED BY FAMILIES.
