Our School Events

At the British School of Tenerife, school life is about much more than academic achievement. Our celebrations, social events and traditions bring students, families and staff together and strengthen our sense of community.

Our main celebrations take place at approximately the same time each academic year, creating traditions that our students and families can look forward to year after year.
