Educating Children from 18 Months to 18 Years (Day & Boarding)
40 Years of Academic Excellence: Crèche, Early Years, Primary, Secondary, Cambridge IGCSE, IB Diploma Programme and Boarding
Welcome to BSL - Gateway to University
It is my great honour to welcome you to The British School of Lomé. BSL has a highly distinguished history, serving Togo and the wider region for more than 40 years. Our school is quite unique in West Africa, offering the UK Cambridge Curriculum to IGCSE and culminating with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which is highly respected as a gateway to universities across the world. Our alumni live and work in many different countries, and are highly successful in their chosen fields.
With students aged from 18 months to 18 years, we have more than 40 different nationalities in our community. We are an inclusive school and whilst some of our students arrive with existing proficiency in the English language, many do not. For our younger students, English is naturally picked up within the classroom.
Older students who need support with their English also have the opportunity to join our intensive Bridging Programme, fast-tracking their English skills so that they quickly become sufficiently bilingual to access our international courses. We also offer students the opportunity to become boarders, so there is truly something for students of all profiles at BSL.
Our regular curriculum is supplemented by our extensive BSL Co-Curriculum, underpinned by our partnerships with The Round Square, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, and the IB, culminating with the IB Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) programme. Leadership and service are embedded throughout the whole school, with a thriving Student Council and opportunities for all students to grow and develop their skills in any area of personal interest. We are an inclusive school and we provide support for all students through our regular Class Teachers, Tutors and Assistants, as well as through our dedicated Learning Support Team. Our aim is always to nurture each individual student and support their personal development.
If you are already in Togo, please come and visit us. If you are overseas, with the possibility of coming to Lomé, please reach out to us for an online call. We are very proud of our school, and it would be a great pleasure to connect with you at any time.
