"What is Wellbeing?
At the British International School, we cater to each member of our community. We have a network of emotional support with interdisciplinary professionals who accompany students at different stages of academic and/or socio-emotional processes, both individually and collectively, with the aim of harmonizing the community.

The international Character Counts program provides character development education, cultivating resilient personalities to face academic and personal challenges.

Its positive impact is reflected in students who contribute as individuals of integrity and value to society.
