With a 250-acre campus bordered by rolling hills on one side and by the city of Sherbrooke on the other, BCS is a small, welcoming community and a "home away from home" to boarding and day students in grades 7-12 from over 35 different countries. We create a caring community of learning and development, where cultures connect and individuals matter.
