School's Mission
The BBS mission is to prepare the students in mind, body and spirit to meet the challenges of the world around them. The school continues to share the spiritual concerns of its founders and their mission to promote love of God and country and to liberate the mind and soul from the bondage of ignorance and fear, hence its motto:

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or mission:
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”
—Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1907–1961)
