What Makes BSY Truly Unique

Choosing the right school is a defining moment for every family. At BSY, we understand that parents searching for the best international school want more than strong academics—they want a place where their child is known, supported, inspired, and empowered to thrive. 

As part of Nord Anglia Education, a global family of 90+ premium schools, BSY offers an extraordinary educational journey shaped by world‑class opportunities, personalised learning, and a community that truly feels like home.

A Proud Member of Nord Anglia Education

Being a member of Nord Anglia Education gives every BSY student access to learning experiences far beyond what most schools can offer. Our students take part in exclusive global collaborations with world‑renowned institutions, including:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where students engage with real STEAM challenges and explore innovative thinking in science, engineering, and creativity

UNICEF, which empowers students to develop global citizenship, advocate for meaningful causes, and understand the impact they can have on the world around them

BSY learners also participate in exclusive NAE global expeditions, including transformative experiences such as snowsports adventures in the Swiss Alps—memorable trips that promote confidence, independence, and international mindedness.

These opportunities nurture curiosity, leadership, and a strong sense of social responsibility.

A Purpose‑Built Campus That Inspires Confidence and Care

Our campus is designed with students’ growth, wellbeing, and holistic development in mind. Purpose‑built learning spaces and modern facilities support children aged 2 to 18 as they explore, play, collaborate, and discover their passions at every stage of their learning journey.

Every element of school life at BSY reflects our belief in safeguarding as the foundation of learning. We prioritise the physical and emotional wellbeing of every child by maintaining rigorous safeguarding standards, ensuring that every student feels protected, respected, and cared for. Our warm and attentive culture ensures students settle quickly and feel at home in their environment.

Academic Excellence Through Personalised Learning

BSY follows the English National Curriculum, offering a robust academic pathway that leads to IGCSE and A‑Level qualifications recognized by universities worldwide. Our students benefit from inspiring teachers, tailored support, and a personalised approach that nurtures each child’s strengths, interests, and ambitions.

Our academic outcomes speak for themselves. For IGCSEs, more than 50% of students achieve A-A*, and over 80% achieve A-B*, significantly outperforming UK averages. Meanwhile, A‑Level students consistently shine, with 70% earning A-A*, and all graduates gaining admission to their first‑choice universities—a testament to the strength of our personalised approach.

Parents consistently highlight BSY’s outstanding teaching, nurturing culture, and excellent learning environment, reinforcing our reputation as one of Yangon’s best international schools.

A Welcoming Community Rooted in Diversity and Unity

BSY is proud to welcome families from diverse nationalities, creating a culturally rich environment where children learn to appreciate different perspectives and form lifelong friendships. Rather than focusing on numbers, we celebrate our diversity through meaningful experiences—especially our much‑loved international days, where the entire community comes together to share languages, traditions, and cultures.

This spirit of unity is one of the reasons families often tell us that BSY feels like home. Our warm school culture, open communication, and strong relationships between staff, students, and parents create an environment where every child feels seen and valued.
