British School Bern

The British School is dedicated to educate the mind, body and social well being of each child with special emphasis on self worth and respect shown for life. We stress acceptance of differences; we emphasize cooperation with, and concern for, others; and we practice a sense of commitment toward the larger community. Above all, we prize the unique worth of each individual.

We seek to provide a challenging curriculum with flexibility to meet the needs of each student. We believe that to be effective, schooling must be founded on secure mastery of basic skills, taught not only in isolation but also in integration with one another and with real life situations. We place strong emphasis on reading, personal expression of ideas through speaking and writing, and mastery of computational and problem solving skills. We also encourage scientific discovery, artistic creativity and physical fitness. In every area we encourage independent thinking and judgments balanced by receptivity to the ideas of others.
