We are a 4 to 18 school, and we follow the English National Curriculum tailored to an International School setting. Students follow IGCSE and A-level English courses. We are a small school of just over 500 students with two classes in each year group from Reception to Year 13. Approximately 60% of our students are Algerian with 40% from 39 other nationalities.

Algiers is a bustling, friendly and cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean, full of historical interest and within easy reach of the UK. Life for teachers is pleasant with a low cost of living and good shops, cafes, and restaurants. Teachers are able to save a good proportion of their salary and, at the same time, enjoy exploring Algeria.

This co-educational day school is for 4 to 18-year-olds. Our students are British, Algerian and from all over the world. The school follows the English National Curriculum and students take IGCSEs and A-levels.
Whilst the British School Algiers school is an independent school, it is under the supervision of the British Embassy, Algiers. The Embassy requires the school to be registered and inspected under the UK government's British Schools Overseas(BOS) scheme.

Students are to take the initiative and responsibility for organising extra-curricular activities. In this way they can create opportunities for themselves and their fellow classmates to broaden their range of skills and interests. The school is in the process of becoming an independent award centre for the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.
