Nord Anglia Education is looking to appoint a Principal for our leading premium school in Boston – The British International School of Boston. This opportunity has arisen due to the planned retirement of the current Principal. 

About us

The British International School of Boston is a leading premium day school with more than 515 students in full time enrolment. Approximately 60 percent of our students are locals, and 40 percent are international, joining us from a wide variety of countries including England, Spain, Australia, Italy, Brazil, China and many more.  The school serves 24 months through to high school (Grade 12) students. We use a system of internationally respected curricula throughout all year groups at our school, resulting in an average IB score of 38 for last years graduates. Our collaboration with MIT and Julliard ensures that students have access to the best STEAM and music curriculum available delivered in the new STEAM Building opened in 2020. As MIT is just around the corner from BISB, our students and teachers are able to interact with some of the most impressive minds of the century. We have focused on developing our athletics programme, adding spring and summer programmes and a new Turf Field to facilitate this. We hold School Spirit Days each year to celebrate the successes of all our sports teams, and to involve the whole school in building school spirit.

The British International School of Boston is part of the Nord Anglia Education family, the world’s leading premium international school organisation. We currently have 81 schools in China, Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia and North, Central and South America.
