Curriculum & results
CambridgeInternational Baccalaureate
The British Schools was among the first schools worldwide to introduce the International Baccalaureate in the 1970s and holds IB registration number 11 as a founding member school. In the Junior School the curriculum blends adapted British and Uruguayan content through the inquiry-based IB Primary Years Programme, culminating in the PYP Exhibition in Year 5. In the Senior School students follow Cambridge IGCSE courses as preparation and all students are expected to complete the IB Diploma Programme, while the school's 'Habilitado' status under the Uruguayan National Programme gives graduates access to Uruguayan universities as well as universities abroad.

Approach · General Curriculum
The school's mission is to strive for the highest standards in academics, arts and sports while recognising individual differences; to instil moral, aesthetic, spiritual and social values; to promote a sense of belonging and pride in the school and its traditions; to pass on the finest aspects of Uruguayan and British values and culture — justice, self-discipline, tolerance and civility; and to develop empathy and responsibility towards the community. Its motto is 'Perfice – be thorough'.
Languages
The school expects every student to become fully bilingual in English and Spanish. English is spoken at all times from the Early Years, and in the Junior School most subjects are taught in English except Spanish and Physical Education; in Year 6 more lessons are taught in Spanish to prepare for the state Primary exit examinations. Senior students take Cambridge IGCSE First Language English, English Literature and Spanish Literature before the IB Diploma.
