2025-26 proudly marks BSA’s 60th anniversary – six decades of championing the boarding sector since our founding in 1965. To honour this milestone, we’re launching a year-long celebration filled with special events, stories, and initiatives designed to unite the global boarding community and showcase the sector.
Much has changed over the years, but our mission to be the voice of boarding remains. Today, we are proud to represent over 4,500 schools, organisations, and individuals across more than 40 countries.
We’re inviting members to join our celebrations throughout the year and there’s plenty to get involved with…
- #BoardingsBestGamers: 4-week esports tournament, launching November 7, 2025
- #BSABear: follow Bear on a tour of BSA’s schools to meet boarders and take part in everything boarding life has to offer!
- Boarding School Book of Remembrance (BOBOR): online record to commemorate boarders who lost their lives or served
- #iloveboarding: share your ‘#iloveboarding because’ videos and quotes as we spread boarding positivity far and wide
- #BoardingArchives: send us your archive photos for a dose of ’60s nostalgia as we look back at how the boarding experience has changed over the years
And so much more to be announced…
