Why Choose the British School of Tenerife?

A World of OpportunityProudly British. Proudly Canarian.

Choosing a school is about more than academic results. It is about finding a place where your child feels happy, safe and valued; where they are inspired to learn, encouraged to discover their strengths and supported to become the very best version of themselves.

A Welcome from our General Manager

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision. As a parent/carer, you want to know that your child will receive a good education, but you also want to feel confident that they will be happy at school.

The British School of Tenerife has been part of the community here in the north of the island since 1967. We have a proud history of providing British education, and many of our former pupils have gone on to achieve great things, both here in Tenerife and further afield.

What I love about BST is its sense of community. There is a genuine family atmosphere, and the relationships between our staff and pupils are an important part of school life. We want children to enjoy coming to school and to feel comfortable being themselves, whilst also understanding the importance of working hard and making the most of their education.

Our values of Commitment, Kindness, Honesty and Respect reflect the sort of school we want to be. They are simple principles, but ones that I believe matter enormously, particularly when working with young people.

As General Manager, much of my work takes place behind the scenes. My responsibility is to ensure that the school is managed effectively, that our staff have the support and resources they need, and that we continue to provide the best possible experience for our pupils and families. This also means taking a longer-term view, ensuring that we invest wisely and plan carefully for the future.

We have a great deal to be proud of at BST, but I firmly believe that every school should continually seek to improve. With such a well-established history, my focus is on building upon what we already do well, whilst ensuring that the school continues to develop and remains a place that families are proud to choose for generations to come.

If you are considering BST for your child, I would encourage you to visit us. There is only so much a website can tell you about a school, and I think meeting our staff and seeing the school in person is the best way to decide whether it is right for your family.

I look forward to welcoming you.
