The British School of Beijing views after school activities (ASA) as a valuable and integral part of the education of our students, and to that end we offer a wide range of activities that aim to introduce the students to potential hobbies, develop particular sports, provide language or IT support and on the whole inspire an interest in areas that perhaps they would not be otherwise exposed to; ASA operate to complement existing opportunities offered by the Music and Sports programmes. - BSB Activities Shunyi - BSB Activities Sanlitun

Shunyi Activity Organisation On ASA days, activities operate for one hour between 3.30-4.30pm. ASA clubs are organized and managed by Activity Leaders; the teachers and teaching assistants. Buses are arranged to take students home on these evenings. The buses will leave school at 4.40pm. The majority of Activities take place in school. Occasionally there may be a small charge to help cover the cost of expendable materials or to pay for the experience of qualified external providers. There are four activity seasons each year:
Student Participation ASA are available for, and offered to, all students from Year 1 through to Year 13. ASA participation is not a school requirement.

Activity Allocation Students are allocated activities randomly (not ‘first come, first served’) based on the ASA Choice Forms. However, when ASA group size is limited, priority is given to students who have not taken the ASA previously. Most activities will be offered for more than one ASA session to accommodate student choices. Registrations which are submitted late will be given lower priority.
