MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDING HEADMASTER

I am delighted to welcome you to the British International School Gambia.

We are a school community based on our core values of Pride, Unity and Respect, and believe passionately in providing a safe, inspiring, and enriching environment that enables everyone to flourish. We pride ourselves in placing learning at the heart of all we do, and in helping all members of our community to embrace learning and make the most of every day.

One of the most important decisions parents must make is choosing the right school for their children. A school is not simply a building where students are supervised while being taught a checklist of subjects. It is the foundation upon which a passion for learning is built. It is a network of experienced professionals that help incoming families quickly adapt and feel a belonging to something greater than themselves. It is a community.

Wherever you would be joining us from, you can expect to find a school that lives up to its mission of nurturing each unique member of its community to become a lifelong learner and global citizen to achieve their greatest potential in a caring and supportive academic environment.

While this website serves as a window into Gambia’s premier British International School, we invite you to visit our state-of-the-art campus so you can personally experience our truly innovative and individualised approach to education that results in remarkable progress for all students. We are very proud of our school, and we will always take the time to show you around.

I look forward to welcoming you in person when you visit.

William Arthur
