Mission

To provide Monaco families with a British curriculum school that offers a nurturing community and an innovative learning environment, enabling students to evolve into their best authentic selves.

Our Core Values

To oneself: Integrity & Responsibility

To others: Respect & Kindness

To the world: Courage and Curiosity

Ethos

The British School of Monaco’s ethos recognises that our values, along with the manner in which we interact with each other and the world, are as important as academic attainment. We create an environment and a developmental process to help young people evolve into confident risk takers, who recognise that valuing themselves and others is essential to being successful world citizens.

We provide our students with the opportunity to learn beyond the superficial rote learning, leading to a depth of understanding that supports retention of concepts and leads to greater understanding and engagement.

We provide an enriching and stimulating learning environment where academic success is coupled with strong moral purpose and respect for others. We recognise that mental and physical health are of prime importance to a successful and fulfilling human life.

Our Approach

The British School of Monaco approach to learning synthesises traditional, well-honed principles and best practice with groundbreaking pedagogical approaches. Built into the curriculum delivery is an understanding of how children learn and factors affecting their neurological development. This is underpinned by a recognition that the 21st century child is required to be an reflective, resilient and adaptive individual who continually strives to understand more about how they learn, and to learn more deeply, thereby maximising their broader growth and development.

The British School of Monaco is a safe and creative environment where students are supported, stimulated and challenged. We celebrate our students’ success and help them to overcome challenges with courage, resilience and curiosity. The British School of Monaco recognises that the ability to endure and overcome sustained challenges is an essential part of the path to success and helps develop character and spirit.

The British School of Monaco’s healthy and vibrant community and culture is fundamentally important to the life of the school. We recognise and value the partnership with our parents as much as the relationship with our students. We involve parents in their children’s learning and engage them in many classroom and school activities, such as curriculum workshops, assemblies, committees, after-school events, sports and home learning.
