(BCS) is an IB World School offering the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and certificates. With a
campus bordered by farmland and rolling hills on one side and the
city of Sherbrooke on the other, BCS is a small, welcoming
community and a “home away from home” for students from 37
countries. We create a caring community of learning and
development where cultures connect and individuals matter. By
embracing a rigorous yet supportive academic program and a
well-rounded education that includes athletics, the arts,
leadership and development, and global citizenship, BCS is

Square, through which students can go on exchanges and volunteer abroad.
