Libraries are a place for research, experimentation and investigation designed to support learning and stimulate curiosity and the pleasure of reading. The Nursery and Primary library is a modular space, organised according to language proficiency levels and literary genres, in order to encourage learner autonomy in researching and consulting texts.

The Middle and High School library is configured as a true university-type research centre, with areas for preservation, archiving, consultation, lending, study and reading. The library provides a wide range of resources, including books, journals, academic publications, and digital resources, both in native and foreign languages.

The libraries are a space for study and socialising, hosting cultural events, literary discussions, author presentations and interactive activities, helping to enrich students’ cultural and linguistic understanding and encourage their active participation.

Thanks to the Science and Thinkering Lab, BBS students approach and appropriate the scientific method as well as the principles of creative experimentation, in order to stimulate inventiveness and achieve a reliable and verifiable knowledge of reality.
What they learn in the biology, chemistry and physics curricula finds in the Science Lab a further and indispensable moment of verification and consolidation, made possible thanks to advanced technological instrumentation.
The creative and technological laboratory fits into this vision by developing activities in the conviction that knowledge also passes through doing and that some of the skills that complete or enrich a profile are learnt more easily if put to the practical test.

The relationship between physical health and psychological well-being determines the special attention paid by BBS to activities and spaces dedicated to sports.
From skiing to badminton, sport is one of the tools that BBS proposes and implements in order to foster and enhance the individuality of its students. Everyone is stimulated to challenge themselves, measure and gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, become aware of their limits, set specific goals and achieve them.
Sporting activity is also emphasised as a group activity, capable of stimulating a sense of sharing, belonging and the importance of teamwork. BBS has a large, well-equipped gymnasium and ample parks and green spaces, as well as easy proximity and interconnection with green areas for public use.

Theatre, music and dance are disciplines that serve both the exploration of students’ emotional sensitivity and para- and non-verbal linguistic development.
Indeed, the theories and practices of the musical and performing arts enable the development of communicative and expressive skills that creatively combine sound, gestures, mimicry and bodily presence. The abolition of predefined, standardised and preferential communicatives allows even the shyest of people to express themselves, giving them the chance to build or strengthen their self-esteem. The activities involve individual and group work, allowing everyone the opportunity to express and share their creativity, also consolidating relational dynamics.
The presence of a large theatre and an auditorium at the Bergamo site make it possible not only to exercise, but also to share artistic-performing practices with the outside world, through performances, courses and meetings open to the public.

BBS has a vegetable garden and outdoor study rooms equipped with interactive whiteboards and desks positioned within the large green space of the park. The advantages of outdoor education are linked to the creation of a pleasant and healthy learning climate that contributes to increasing the students’ level of concentration and their positive approach to teaching and studying.
Direct, close and interactive contact with nature at school age also develops a positive environmental awareness that is linked to a concern for the environment and sustainability.
The practice of teaching outdoors shows students how academic values are not transmitted so that they remain closed within the walls of the school, but so that they can go out and assert themselves in any situation and context.
By having outdoor spaces equipped for studying and teaching, BBS students take on board the idea that academic values are not transmitted so that they remain closed within the walls of the school, but so that they can go out and assert themselves in any situation and context.

The development of creativity is possible thanks to the presence of Art, Design and Technology classrooms designed to support the development of a wide range of transversal skills essential for academic, professional and personal success.
Art and design – conveyed through a variety of methods and tools, from traditional to new technologies – stimulate the ability to think innovatively and critically, to generate original ideas and to solve problems in unconventional ways, skills that are transferable to multiple contexts.
In the High School, the laboratory is in fact a true “Arts Centre”, in which artistic and applied scientific aptitudes intersect, opening up to mutual contamination and dialogue with the most advanced industrial production realities.
