The British School of Lomé (BSL) is a private international day and boarding school in Lomé, the capital of Togo, serving children from around 18 months old through to the end of secondary education at age 18. The school has been operating for more than forty years and is one of the few providers of a full English-language international pathway in West Africa. Enrolment is around 270 students drawn from more than forty nationalities, taught by a team of about 29 teachers supported by associate teaching staff. Learning follows the Cambridge framework, closely aligned with the English National Curriculum, from the Early Years Foundation Stage through primary and lower secondary, leading to Cambridge IGCSE examinations and then to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in the final two years. Because many families arrive without prior English, the school runs its own English Language Institute and a Bridging Programme designed to bring students to the level needed for international courses. BSL is a member of Round Square, the international network of schools built around experiential learning, service and internationalism, and it offers boarding for students aged 8 to 18 within a gated campus with round-the-clock security. The campus sits in the Résidence du Bénin district of Lomé and combines classrooms with sports facilities and access to neighbouring leisure amenities.

Information about languages of the The British School of Lomé

English is the language of instruction throughout the school, from the Early Years classes to IGCSE and the IB Diploma. Because BSL sits in a French-speaking country and draws families from more than forty nationalities, many students join without fluent English; the school's English Language Institute and intensive Bridging Programme are designed to raise their English quickly enough to access international courses, and younger children pick up the language within the classroom. French is taught as a foundation subject within the primary curriculum, and the school describes multilingual education as part of its wider support for learners.

Information about international degrees and programmes of the The British School of Lomé

BSL offers a continuous international pathway rather than a national Togolese curriculum. Primary and lower secondary years are built on the Cambridge framework and the English National Curriculum, beginning with the Early Years Foundation Stage for the youngest children. Students then prepare for Cambridge IGCSE examinations in the middle secondary years, and in Years 12 and 13 they follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which the school presents as its gateway to universities worldwide. For students who need additional academic support, the school offers a Study Plus option in Years 10 to 13 as an alternative to the full set of IGCSE or IB Diploma subjects. The English Language Institute and the intensive Bridging Programme allow students arriving with limited English to join these courses.
