ABOUT BISG

ABOUT BISG

BISG is The Gambia’s premier British International School.

We opened our doors to our first set of students in September 2022. Our airconditioned, well-resourced, state-of-the-art classrooms are spread over the four floors of our newly built facility located in Kotu, with two direct accesses from the main Bertil Harding Highway. We began in September 2022 with admission into years 7 -10 (form 1-4) and year 12 (form 6) with years 10 and 12 progressing into years 11 (form 5) and 13 (form 7) in September 2023.

We are a vibrant, purposeful, inclusive, friendly, multicultural community made up of students from different nationalities. Placing an emphasis on strong and supportive relationships, our staff and students collaborate within a caring and happy atmosphere that resonates throughout our school.

We aim to empower our students in achieving their full potential beyond their IGCSEs and A Levels, facilitating their growth as creative, analytical, and inquisitive life-long learners, endowed with empathy and nurtured with the courage and determination to seek new opportunities and grow as happy, fulfilled people.

We do this by teaching our students to take responsibility for their own learning and by guiding them towards new knowledge and skills through international curricula that are benchmarked against the high-quality British educational standards. This is made possible by the amazing world class teachers who bring their dedication and passion to every experience both inside and outside of the classroom.

At BISG, we work hard to ensure that our learning ethos provides our students with the skills necessary to respond to an ever-changing global dynamic.
