    The British School of Bern is an English-speaking, International day school established in 1988. It is for pupils of all nationalities from the ages of three to twelve years.
    The British School aims to provide a high-quality program for children of all abilities that promotes the social, emotional, cognitive, moral, physical, and aesthetic development of each child.
    The British School is dedicated to educating 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 a 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.
    Our school atmosphere is informal and friendly. We welcome parent volunteers, community resources, and agencies into the school to assist us in the delivery of a comprehensive and stimulating educational program. Although styles of teaching vary, we recognize and respect different learning styles and are united in our commitment to each child. Our staff are excited about education and are constantly learning and growing. They show children a caring community by working together and respecting one another.
    We believe in every individual and hope to nurture well-rounded, self-respecting, friendly children.
    The school learning program is based on the latest British and International curriculums. Lessons are given in English. Both regular testing and continuous assessment are considered to be important when monitoring each child’s progress. National tests from England and America are used.
    In the first term, parents are invited to discuss their children’s progress with the class teacher. Formal reports are made in the third term. Following the reports, the parents are invited to discuss their child/ren’s progress with the teachers.
    Subjects taught include English, Mathematics, Science, ICT (Information, Communication, and Technology), German, Geography, History, Music, Drama, Art/Craft, P.S.H.E. (Personal, Social and Health Education), and, Physical Education. All students have access to computers in their classrooms, as well as regular use of the computer lab.
