Student Life
Every day at BSM brings new ways to compete, create, serve, and belong.
Life at Benilde-St. Margaret's has a buzz to it. Between classes, students are on the court and the stage, in the chapel and the community, building friendships as they discover what they care about and who they hope to become.
That energy is the point. Whatever a Red Knight is drawn to, there is a place to pursue it and a community ready to cheer them on, so every student belongs to something bigger.
A Day at BSM
No two days at BSM look quite the same. From the morning bell to the final whistle, a Red Knight's day is full of learning, faith, friendship, and the activities they love.
Morning Bell
The day begins as students arrive on campus, catch up on announcements and the day's news, and head to their first-hour classes.
Homeroom
Students connect with their homeroom group for advisory, activities, and support at points throughout the week.
Classes
Students move through the day's coursework, from core subjects to electives, honors, and advanced courses.
Hands-On Learning
In labs, studios, and project spaces, students dig into independent and hands-on work that puts ideas into practice.
Counselor Check-In
Students meet one-on-one with their school and college counselor to plan ahead, from coursework to life after BSM.
Lunch
Students share a meal, catch up with friends, and recharge for the afternoon ahead.
Mass & Prayer
The community comes together for worship and prayer, a cornerstone of BSM's Catholic mission.
Co-Curriculars
Clubs, activities, and student groups meet to explore shared interests and passions.
Practices & Rehearsals
Athletes hit the court, rink, and field while performers take the stage.
Game Day
On the court, the ice, and the field, Red Knights compete and the community shows up to show its spirit.
What It's Like to Be a Red Knight
