Ongoing Projects

Eco-School Project

Eco-Schools is a growing phenomenon, which encourages young people to engage in their environment by allowing them the opportunity to actively protect it. It starts in the classroom, it expands to the school and eventually fosters change in the community at large.

New Junior High classrooms

To accommodate the needs of our growing school community, we are building a separate block of three classrooms for our Junior High school students.

New Outdoor Playground


A series of outdoor playground equipment has been installed in the school garden along with a large sandpit.

The Learning Hub

The HUB opened in January 2015 and is an ongoing project. The school employs a staff of six teachers and four non teaching staff. It provides an education of excellence to a group of orphan children from the Imani Rehabilitation Centre.

Child Helps Child

The BAPS and BES school community in Milan, Italy have been active supporters of The Make a Difference association since it was founded in 2008. From sponsored walks, to bake sales, to non school uniform days, to the annual Halloween disco.

Food For Mind

Order a Signature Dish and help educate an Orphan.
The renowned restaurant Mes Amis will donate Euro 2 to our educational project when you order their wonderful dish “PASTA DEL MES AMIS” (pasta with sausage and black truffle melted in a flambéed wheel of Parmesan cheese).
