At British International School of Boston, we follow internationally renowned curricula that open up a world of limitless opportunities for your child’s future.
Our highly experienced, UK-trained teachers take a personalized approach to differentiating learning for your child’s ability, interests, and goals in every subject. They also weave together many different strands of their learning by focusing on project-based, hands-on, and cross-curricular experiences that shape your child’s understanding and motivate their next steps.
All of this comes together to guide your child every step of the way on their learning journey — leading to fantastic results, outstanding college and university destinations worldwide, and a passionate lifetime as a global leader.
During Lower School, we guide your child to become an able, confident, and inspired learner, as they enhance their skills across many subjects and activities. Working individually and collaboratively, your child will consider topics from multiple perspectives, draw meaningful connections between subjects, and engage with the world.
Throughout Years 7–9 (Grades 6–8) of Middle School, our students explore a wide range of subjects and skills, including through our unique enrichment program that takes place weekly, in a double period. Our Middle Schoolers pursue their passions and interests and connect with the world through many international opportunities that get them ready for success in a global environment.
High School, which spans Years 10–13 (Grades 9–12), is all about carving each student's unique areas of interest and specialties. Our students focus on IGCSEs during their first two years. In their final two years, they get ready to create their futures through the most rigorous and highly respected International Baccalaureate courses — finishing with an impressive capstone on their High School years, in excellent preparation for top universities worldwide.
Why do we teach from British and international curricula?
We encourage a “learning focused” environment, rather than a teaching focused one, at BISB. This means we put the emphasis on the learner’s interests, needs, and goals, as they become the driver of their own plans and future.
Our talented teachers are their continual guides. They meet every child where they are in their journey — no matter where they start — supporting and challenging them in equal measure. This leads to a highly personalized, specific feedback for their next steps.
Our teachers have all come to British International School of Boston with extensive experience in the UK, internationally, and in the US. They use this experience to deliver the highest quality, personalized lessons for our students' academic success in a globalized context. Arriving from the UK, they're trained to instruct with differentiation as part of their qualification — bringing this approach to our classrooms so every child's learning journey is as unique as they are. Our teachers are passionate about inspiring each child's love for learning from a young age, and until the day students graduate, they nurture the skills of ambitious, confident global citizens.
As a commitment to their practice, our teachers are also always undergoing professional development to enhance their skills and stay at the forefront of global education. Through Nord Anglia University (NAU), for example, they access world-class trainings and resources that align with their performance reviews.
At British International School of Boston, there’s always a world of learning in and beyond the classroom. We encourage your child to follow what truly fascinates them. And with our support, they’ll stay eager to go further than what they ever imagined possible.
