The Bo Government Secondary School commonly known as Bo School is a secondary school located in Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone. The school was founded in 1906 at the behest of Governor Leslie Probyn to educate the sons of Paramount Chiefs in the British manner. It is located on 13.5 acres (5.5 ha) in the center of Bo and has a long history of developing the elite of Sierra Leone, especially the country's politicians.

The Old Bo Boys Association (OBBA) was formed in 1929 and now has branches all over the world, most prominently in the United Kingdom.
