About Us

At British International School Cabo Verde (BISCV), we are committed to nurturing young minds through a world-class, inquiry-based education that inspires curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. We currently offer provision for Foundation and Primary pupils, with our Middle School in active development and scheduled to open in September 2027. Prospective families are warmly invited to register their interest through the school office.

Rooted in the National Curriculum of England, our academic approach is designed to develop well-rounded, globally minded pupils who excel both within and beyond the classroom. With an unwavering commitment to academic rigour, character development, and innovation, we provide a supportive yet appropriately challenging environment in which every child is empowered to realise their full potential.

Our ethos is encapsulated in our motto, Aut inveniam viam aut faciam—“I will either find a way or make one”—reflecting a spirit of determination, resilience, and initiative. It underpins our belief that every pupil can overcome challenges and forge their own path to success.

Located in Palmarejo Baixo, Praia, in a unique beachfront setting, BISCV offers a diverse and inclusive community where integrity, leadership, and intellectual curiosity thrive. Our modern, safe and secure campus, together with our highly qualified educators, ensures that each pupil receives an education that is both enriching and future-focused.

At BISCV, we do not simply prepare pupils for success; we inspire them to shape the world.
