School Fees
At British International School of Boston, our tuition fees ensure your child will receive the best international education in a stimulating environment that sets them up for success — no matter what your child wants to do or be in life.
As part of our educational package, through Nord Anglia Education, we offer several exclusive resources that enrich your child’s learning in and beyond the classroom. Our world-class collaborations with MIT, Juilliard, and UNICEF, and IMG Academy, alongside international opportunities in the global Nord Anglia family, prepare your child for an exciting future on the global stage.
They won't just love coming to school every day — they'll be ready to tackle any challenge ahead with creativity, curiosity, confidence, and resilience.
