British International School of Tunis (BIST)

The British International School of Tunis (BIST)

At BIST, we provide an engaging, inspiring, and holistic education that equips pupils with the skills and confidence to lead fulfilling lives, wherever their journey may take them. Combining academic excellence with innovative teaching approaches like Project-Based Learning (PBL) and outdoor education, we ensure that pupils gain practical, hands-on skills and life lessons to prepare them for a dynamic world.

Our curriculum fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Primary pupils benefit from experiential outdoor learning and project-based activities that spark curiosity and a love of discovery. In Secondary, we focus on developing independence and real-world problem-solving skills, empowering pupils with both academic achievement and personal growth.

We welcome families from across the region, creating a supportive and diverse community of learners. Accredited by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and recognised by the British Government’s overseas schools inspection, we uphold the highest educational standards.

Our Vision

We nurture lifelong learners with a passion for knowledge, a spirit of adventure, and the resilience to thrive in an ever-changing world.

While prioritising academic success, we emphasise moral and social development, cultivating values like integrity, compassion, and inclusivity. At BIST, we celebrate each pupil’s individuality, offering tailored support to meet their unique needs and aspirations.

Our location in Tunis offers a remarkable opportunity to engage with a vibrant and diverse culture. We encourage pupils to embrace the Arabic language and traditions, enriching their global perspective whether they remain in Tunis or explore beyond.
