Athletics at BFIS
Athletics, and sports in general, offer opportunities to cultivate communication and leadership skills, to work as part of a team, and to develop resilience by learning to meet success and failure head-on. Sports are a great lesson in time management and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Building relationships
Many research studies reveal that participation in Sports Programs improves students’ physical health, stress management, self-confidence and academic benchmarks. School athletes work together in practices preparing for competitions. They build relationship and learn to care for each other. At BFIS all students are encouraged to participate in and enjoy themselves across a wide range of sports and team sports. There are both, competitive inter-school sports leagues at a local level and also inter-schools sports competitions within international schools in and outside Spain.
