ABOUT US

Our Story

A questioning mind and an adventurous spirit

Welcome

The British Academy, a private primary and secondary school, founded in 2006 has celebrated 18 years of steady growth. What started as a need for an education that offered a seamless transition from primary to secondary education, bypassing the dreaded SEA system, has evolved into a school that prepares children for life and not just for an exam.

Over the last 18 years, we have found that the ideal classroom for us were small class sizes, a room that our children were able to question the teacher on how something works and not get a reply of ‘write the notes’. Classes where the subject was engaging, student’s debate and have an enthusiasm for the topic. We wanted teachers to be a balance of young and experienced educators who are open-minded, progressive and believe in the potential of every student, who have a passion for teaching, who genuinely enjoy and have the requisite desire for working with young adults.

Our school is a Cambridge International School, registered to offer education programmes from Cambridge Assessment International Education, a department of the University of Cambridge. We are proud to be part of the world’s largest international community of schools, preparing students for life with Cambridge qualifications that are valued by universities and employers around the world. 

The Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational success. We shape its curriculum around how our students learn – with a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them. Our programmes inspire students [or your child] to love learning, helping them discover new abilities and a wider world.

We are also registered with the local Ministry of Education.

Mission:

We will create an environment that nurtures questioning minds and adventurous spirits. 

Vision:

We will create a learning facility that compares favourably to any international school in our chosen disciplines. We consider environmental, social and economic impacts when making decisions to achieve our vision.

We believe:

  • Every child can learn
  • Every child does not learn in the same way
  • Class size directly relates to student learning
  • Every child needs a nurturing and supportive learning environment
  • Readiness to learn, and to move on is our  deciding factor for class placement and promotion
  • Our core values are essential to our teaching and learning  

At The British Academy in striving to achieve the highest educational standards, we value:

  • Learning and Achievement
  • Questioning and Fearlessness
  • Nurturing
  • Innovation
  • Self Discipline
  • Trust

In all our students and staff
