The British Schools, Montevideo, was founded in 1908 and celebrates its founders' day on the 8th of October each year. It was born from a joint initiative of The British Cemetery Society and The Anglican Church to establish an English school in Montevideo with "the object of giving children a complete education, both intellectual and moral, based upon the ideas and principles of the best schools in The British Isles". The School is organised as a private, coeducational, non-profit and secular day school, which aims to provide an excellent bilingual education combining the Uruguayan national curriculum with a strong English language programme. The School is governed by a Board of Governors elected by The British Schools Society, whose Honorary President is the British Ambassador to Uruguay. Located in the suburbs of Montevideo, in the residential area of Carrasco, the School site encompasses the Senior School, Junior School, Early Years Centre (EYC), Auditorium (seating capacity 420), Cafeteria, Sports House, Pavilion, Playing Fields, Hockey, Rugby, Football pitches, a synthetic Hockey pitch, outdoor Tennis Courts, Basketball Court, Gymnasium (1654m2) and Open Air Swimming Pool. Parents are drawn to the School by its challenging bi-lingual programme and strong set of values. The School programme is academically rigorous and continues to achieve high success rates both in the national and international courses with over 90% of the students achieving a Bilingual IB Diploma. The implementation of a dual curriculum in Senior combines the benefits of an International Programme together with the content and experience of a National Programme. This unique positioning of the School in providing students with the dual curriculum experience has enriched the process of curriculum development for teachers, students and the community. The School is well supported by its family community, who are organised in various groups through the auspices of the Parent’s Committee and Form Parents. There are many opportunities for all parents to become involved in the activities of the School. The School also has very close links with and strong support from its alumni, including The British Schools Foundation and The Old Boys and Old Girls Club. Over the years, graduates from The British Schools have, through their achievements and contributions to society, become leaders in the community. At every level of society they have exercised their influence by applying the knowledge, skills and values they acquired during their formative years at the School. ==Educational Programmes== Parents are drawn to the School by its challenging bi-lingual programme and strong set of values.
