The British International School of Boston is part of Nord Anglia Education.
British International School of Boston is a private day school serving students from 18 months to 18 years on a spacious campus in Jamaica Plain, Boston. The school delivers a throughline of international curricula, integrating the IEYC and English National Curriculum from early years through primary, with Cambridge IGCSE in the middle years and the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years. Preschool emphasizes play-based learning aligned with the IEYC and EYFS, including Forest School, with specialist French and music. Lower School uses a cross‑curricular approach with English National Curriculum and IPC, and Middle School prepares for IGCSEs and the IB DP. The campus centers on a STEAM hub, theatres, and dance and music studios, plus four age-appropriate outdoor spaces. Students participate in Global Campus collaborations with MIT, Juilliard, and UNICEF via Nord Anglia Education, enriching studies with real-world projects, service learning, and international opportunities across local and global.
