Senior School

The British Schools is committed to providing the educational environment and infrastructure to help students achieve excellence according to their potential in academics, arts, and sports, while recognising individual differences and needs.
The purpose of the taught curriculum is to encourage students to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors, and responsible citizens – as defined in the attributes of the IB Learner Profile.
From the Mission Statement

The Senior School is “Habilitado” which means that we follow both the Uruguayan National Programme and international programmes. This is important as it allows all of our graduating students access into Uruguayan Universities. In addition, all our students are expected to complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The British Schools has the honour of being one of the original founding schools in the 1970’s. In preparation for the IB Programme, we also follow the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) produced by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE).

In addition to the academic curriculum, we are proud of the wide range of extra-curricular activities that we offer. Students have the opportunity to take part in a variety of sports, the School musical, Model United Nations (MUN), Philosophy Club, robotics, Maths Olympics, to name a few.

At The British Schools, the wellbeing of our students is very important and we have a dedicated team of professionals, including psychologists and learning support specialists to ensure that all students can be successful.
