British International School Dakar

Welcome to British International School, Dakar

At BISD, we are committed to nurturing young minds through a world-class, inquiry-based education that inspires curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. 

We currently cater to nursery, reception, and primary levels. We are actively developing our secondary section and will announce its launch in the near future.

Rooted in the National Curriculum of England, our academic approach is designed to develop well-rounded, globally minded students who excel both in and beyond the classroom. With an unwavering dedication to academic rigour, character development, and innovation, we provide a supportive yet challenging environment where every child is empowered to reach their full potential.

Our ethos, encapsulated in our motto Summa Peto—"I seek the highest"—reflects our pursuit of excellence in all aspects of education. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Almadies district in Dakar, BISD offers a diverse, inclusive community where integrity, leadership, and intellectual curiosity thrive.

Our modern, safe, secure campus, located in the Almadies district in Dakar and highly qualified educators ensure that each student receives an education that is both enriching and future-focused. At BISD, we don’t just prepare students for success; we inspire them to shape the world.
