Welcome to Amsterdam’s only accredited British international school for ages 3 to 18. Discover what makes our students boundless in their ambitions, secure in their belonging and driven by the best of British education. 

Grown in Amsterdam. Ready for the World.

At BSA, education goes far beyond exam results. We believe some of the most important learning happens outside the classroom through creative exploration, personal challenge and shared experience.

Whether on stage, on the sports field or abroad on expedition, students discover more about themselves and the world around them. From Year 7 to Year 13, there's space and encouragement to get involved. Leadership roles, service opportunities, global trips and an inspiring range of clubs help students build confidence, teamwork and resilience all while finding joy in the journey.
