The British Schools of Montevideo is a private, coeducational, non-profit school, which aims to give an intensive bilingual education, combining the Uruguayan national curriculum with an English language program. The school offers various English and international examinations, such as the IGCSE and IB (International Baccalaureate) programs.

The School is governed by the Board of Governors, elected by the British Schools Society in Uruguay, whose honorary President is the British Ambassador to Uruguay.

The School was founded on the 8th of October 1908, making it one of the oldest educational institutions in the country, and it has the reputation of being one of the best schools in the country. Its original purpose was to give children a complete education, with the level of the best schools of Great Britain. It was also meant to establish strong bonds between the British and Uruguayan children living in the country.
