Busan Foreign School has a school uniform consisting of three basic sets across the year: a cold-weather uniform, a warm-weather uniform, and a PE uniform. The dress code is Monday through Thursday for uniforms; Friday is a casual dress day, and high school has formal days on Tuesdays. Uniform items are available through local providers: PL Schoolwear (46 Yongso-ro 14beon-gil, Nam-gu, Busan) and Land's End; the PTSO also operates a gently used uniform program.
The school cafeteria is managed by Chef Jongin Kim, a culinary professional with experience at the Ritz-Carlton Seoul and other roles. A nutritionist, Ms. Hyemin Park, has joined the team to oversee nutrition. For the 2025-26 school year, BFS introduced the culinary team, and menus are posted online (e.g., Menu December 8–12 and Menu December 15–19).
