BRITISH SCHOOL IN BAKU (BSB)

After gaining independence for the second time, Azerbaijan started to build new economic and cultural relations with many countries. In very short period of time, we started to integrate to Europe, and many countries recognized Azerbaijan as an independent republic. Gradually, Azerbaijan drew other countries’ attention with its political, economic and cultural resources. Today, thousands of Azerbaijani students are studying in different prestigious universities around the world. It is considered as a result of attainment and achievement of education in Azerbaijan.

Now, there are a lot of international schools in Azerbaijan that have adopted foreign curriculum. The main purpose of such schools is to teach different foreign languages and culture to young generations. One of the most important things, of course, is to train highly qualified specialists. Students who learn many foreign languages today, will represent our country abroad tomorrow. They will convey the real historical facts of Azerbaijan to other nations.

British School in Baku is one of those innovative secondary schools in Azerbaijan that has includes such qualities.

Although it was established only in September 2007, we are a relatively new school who are constantly seeking ways to improve even further. Our school has become known as the only British International School in Azerbaijan. It is the only private school in Azerbaijan that meets all English requirements and standards, as well as implements national curriculum provided by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Education. Our teaching is based on the English National Curriculum, which we adopt for life in an international setting.
