The British School of Bucharest, as anyone who has been a member of the BSB community or, indeed, who comes to visit us will testify, is a very unique, beautiful and extraordinarily special place. We are truly committed to the success of every child and approach the delivery of the curriculum with creativity and always with our students’ well-being and bright future at the core of every decision.
Our delightful, hardworking students, talented and dedicated staff, warm and welcoming campus, and outstanding facilities are true testaments to the values, ethos and priorities of our school. Every time we meet our students around campus, whether in classrooms, on the playgrounds, in laboratories or art ateliers and workshops, study areas or the dining and social areas, we are always filled with deep appreciation and admiration. This comes fundamentally from our students’ own sense of pride, aspirations for the future, exceptional conduct, and commitment to academic achievement.
Regardless of at which point in their educational career our students have joined us, it is genuinely uplifting to witness the shared BSB values which underpin school life and unite our community in practice each day. Our high expectations and attention to individual needs model the attitudes and dispositions which we hope our students will carry into their adult lives and will nurture their enduring success.
The leadership and personal development programmes at BSB, which extend from our youngest students in the Early Years Foundation Stage through to our Sixth Form, are a key factor contributing to that sense of shared values, moral compass, and the ability to lead and inspire others. The unique learning environment and outstanding pastoral care at BSB provide a safe, secure, and challenging but supportive setting in which students can thrive. Our students are exposed not only to a rigorous programme of academics but also a range of bespoke learning experiences which allow them to explore and discover their interests and talents beyond the curriculum, from musical and theatrical performances to exhibitions, gastronomy and engineering.
Our results and the breadth of university destinations speak volumes about our approach to educating the ‘whole’ child, and our flourishing Alumni association provides opportunities for our students to enjoy the support, contacts and friendships formed at BSB for life. We pride ourselves on the positive relationships we form with students and families and know that working in partnership is essential to our students’ success.
We hope that you find this website informative and are able to get a real sense of what makes BSB, ‘BSB’. We would be honoured to welcome you to our beautiful campus for a tour and help you gain some personal insight into what a BSB education can offer your child and family now and in the future.
