Our Approach to Learning
The British School of Monaco approach to learning synthesises well-honed educational principles and best practice, combined with all that innovative pedagogical research offers. Our schemes of work, drawn from British curricula, are delivered by our teachers who are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. Through innovative teaching, students have every opportunity to reach their full potential.
We focus strongly on developing each student’s love for and exposure to literature, and of how to draw from what they read, the skills and ideas to express in their own writing.
We recognise that the 21st century child must strive to understand more about how they learn, and to learn more deeply, thereby maximising their broader growth and development. In our safe and creative environment, each student is supported, stimulated and challenged. We delight in celebrating their success.
Children learn best when they are happy and secure and we work hard to provide an environment that cherishes each student’s character and contribution. We want them to enjoy their learning and their time in school. Their laughter enriches our world.
In addition to the National Curriculum for England subjects, the British School of Monaco offers a significant French programme for both first language French speakers and second language French speakers.
Safeguarding
The British School of Monaco is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, volunteers and other third parties to share this commitment. All short-listed candidates will be subject to thorough background checks.

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.
The Curriculum
At the British School of Monaco we develop strong British social, moral, cultural, intellectual, emotional and spiritual values, within a framework of physical and mental health. The British School of Monaco is accredited and recognised as a Cambridge school. It offers a Primary Curriculum based on the National Curriculum for England, adapted to meet local characteristics and needs, and A-Level Curriculum through Cambridge and Edxcel.
At the British School of Monaco, students receive a stimulating and enriching educational experience that drives ambition and a genuine thirst for learning. We place our students and our vision for the curriculum at the heart of all decisions we make and all that we do. This ensures that we are best placed to develop confident, adaptable and risk-taking students who are prepared for the next stages of their learning in a fast-changing world.
Our outstanding teaching combines cross-curricular, well-planned and resourced lessons with broader enrichment opportunities to extend and consolidate understanding of the curriculum. Through this we ensure that students’ depth of understanding across the curriculum is achieved and that their learning comes to life.
Within the ‘hidden curriculum’ are two critical factors: an understanding of how children learn, and a commitment to supporting students to be reflective learners with a deep awareness of themselves.
