About international schools in Bermuda

Bermuda’s international and independent schools sit on a small island system where English is the language of instruction and class sizes and entry places are limited, so location and timing matter for relocating families. Most private schools combine British-pattern curricula (UK National Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE/GCSE and A levels) with International Baccalaureate options and internationally oriented primary programmes such as the International Primary Curriculum or IEYC. Tuition is charged in Bermudian dollars (pegged 1:1 to the US dollar) and published fees at leading independent schools are commonly in the mid five-figure range, with some schools publishing annual tuitions around BMD 26,000 - 28,000 while others are lower; expect additional costs for books, uniforms, exams and trips. The academic year runs to a September - June rhythm; private schools generally run their own admissions schedules that include application forms, age-related entry assessments or interviews and, for public placement, the Ministry’s registration windows - families should start enquiries well before arrival.

Choosing an international school in Bermuda

Curricula

There are 5 international schools in Bermuda covering 6 curricula. The most widely offered are International Baccalaureate (2), A Levels (1), American (1), Canadian (1), Montessori (1).

Fees & what they cover

Where a school publishes fees you'll see the range on its card and a full breakdown on its profile.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Bermuda run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead.

Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

Boarding

Most schools here are day schools; check individual profiles for any boarding options.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Bermuda we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.

FAQs for Bermuda

Which curricula and qualifications will my child find in Bermuda’s international schools?
Instruction is delivered in English and the island’s private schools typically offer British-pattern programmes (UK National Curriculum through Key Stage 3, then IGCSE/GCSE at 14 - 16 and A levels or equivalent routes at 16 - 18) alongside International Baccalaureate Diploma options and internationally focused primary curricula such as the IPC/IEYC. Some schools combine pathways so students can move from IGCSE to the IB Diploma or A levels in sixth form. Check each school’s website for the specific pathway offered in each year group.
How much should I budget for school fees and what extras should I expect?
Published tuition at Bermuda’s independent schools is billed in Bermudian dollars (BMD) and many families report private-school fees in the mid five-figure range; for example, a current published figure for one large co-educational school is around BMD 27,820 for a full year, while other leading schools publish annual totals around BMD 26,000. Beyond core tuition, expect separate charges for books, technology, exam entry fees, uniforms, instrument rental and overseas trips, and schools commonly offer different payment plans, scholarships or bursaries. Remember that BMD is pegged 1:1 to USD which makes international comparisons straightforward.
When should we apply and how competitive is entry?
The school year typically begins in September, and many private schools open applications for the following September well in advance; popular year groups can be competitive and some schools maintain waiting lists. Private admissions normally involve an application form, proof of previous schooling, age-appropriate assessments or interviews and references, while public school registration follows Ministry windows and allocation procedures. Start enquiries as soon as you have relocation dates and be prepared to provide school records and immunisation documentation quickly.
What ages and qualifications do schools cover in Bermuda?
Independent schools commonly cover the full span from early years through Year 13 (roughly ages 4 - 18), with primary and middle phases moving towards external qualifications: IGCSE/GCSE examinations are taken around age 16 and the final two years (sixth form) offer A levels, the IB Diploma or equivalent pre-university options. The public system also follows a primary-middle-senior structure and awards the Bermuda School Certificate at the end of compulsory schooling. Confirm the exact year-to-age mapping with any school you are considering because terminology (Year versus Grade) can differ.
Is English the only language of instruction and what support exists for learners with additional needs or limited English?
English is the primary language of instruction across Bermuda’s public and private schools, and many independent schools state they provide learning-support and English-language assistance for pupils who need it. Support levels vary by school: some have dedicated learning-support teams or resource rooms and others can arrange external specialists, so ask schools for details about their learning-support provisions, how they assess needs and whether extra tuition or specialist services are charged separately. For children who are not yet fluent in English, early-arrival language support or private tuition while settling in is commonly recommended.
