BISB’s teachers ace the most crucial part of their job — motivating your child to do their best and pursue what they truly find fascinating.
That’s because we recognize that every student is unique, with their own strengths, abilities, and talents. We respond by putting every child’s individual way of learning ahead of our teaching.

While it may at first seem overwhelming, the wide selection of great private schools in the Boston area offers you the opportunity to find the right fit for your family and your child. This important decision should be made only after considering what’s genuinely right for your child's future.
Visiting a variety of different types and sizes of schools will help you get a sense of where your child will be most successful. Explore, talk, and meet current parents and students. Most importantly, ask lots of questions.

A school's curriculum is one of the most influential factors on a child's learning and development. As you explore BISB and other schools for your child’s future, you’ll find out how the curriculum supports and challenges students of varying abilities and educational backgrounds. Ask why the school chose the curriculum they did and find out how your child’s learning style will be supported within the curriculum.
Learn how we have chosen to teach from globally respected curricula at BISB, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which have been proven to help children excel and are highly regarded by colleges and universities across the US and around the globe.
It’s important to know how a school tracks student progress and achievement and to know how the school communicates this progress with parents.
At British International School of Boston, teachers have regular conversations with students to measure their learning and help them set new learning goals. Teachers track student progress carefully and clearly communicate with parents through school reports, Parent-Teacher Conferences, and student learning journals. Teachers also help track students' social and emotional progress, encouraging students to reach personal goals in addition to academic goals.
Discover how goal setting leads to great success for our students.
Your new school is going to be your family's new community. As such, we know it’s important to help you and your child feel welcome.
We host a New Student Day the week before school begins to let students meet their teachers and explore the school building. During the fall term, we also host a series of monthly events throughout Boston for new parents. In the past, we've toured the Boston Public Library, visited the Museum of Fine Arts, and explored Boston Symphony Hall.
Visit our campus or join us in a Virtual Discovery Meeting to take the first step towards your child’s future. We’ll give you clear insights into what personalized learning looks like, and we’ll show you BISB’s unique resources and global offerings.
