About international schools in Bermuda

Private, English-medium day schools dominate Bermuda’s international-school scene alongside a publicly funded system; many independent schools combine British-style qualifications (IGCSE/GCSE and A levels) with International Baccalaureate options so families can choose either a UK pathway or an IB diploma route. Annual tuition at long-standing local independents typically sits in the mid-to-high tens of thousands of Bermudian dollars/US dollars, and published schedules show single-year fees commonly in the low-to-high $20,000s with separate charges for enrolment, exams, uniforms and trips. Admissions are term-based with September intake common; private schools generally require an application, documentary proof of prior schooling, age-appropriate assessments or interviews and an enrolment deposit to secure a place. Relocating families should plan for limited places at popular year groups, check each school’s programme (IB, UK national curriculum or international curricula) and confirm whether fees, scholarships or bursaries apply before accepting an offer.

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). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

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. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. 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

What curricula do international schools in Bermuda typically offer and how do they differ?
Many independents offer a British curriculum leading to IGCSE/GCSEs and A levels, while a number of schools also run the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in sixth form; some schools combine elements (for example UK curricula up to GCSE and IB in the sixth form). The practical difference is that the UK route focuses on subject specialisation at A level, whereas the IB Diploma is a two-year, broader liberal-arts programme with core elements such as Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay.
How much should I budget for school fees and extra costs in Bermuda?
Published tuition for leading day schools is commonly in the low-to-high $20,000s per year, though exact figures vary by school and by the pupil’s age and programme; some schools publish annual tuition around $22,000 - $28,000 with additional mandatory charges. Expect extras for application/enrolment deposits, exam entries, books, technology, uniforms, after-school care and overseas trips, and ask each school for a full fee schedule and payment options before you relocate.
What is the usual admissions rhythm and what documents or steps will be required?
Most private schools follow a term-based cycle with the main intake in September and earlier application deadlines; schools typically ask for a completed application form, previous school reports, proof of age, references and may use age-appropriate assessments, interviews or placement tests. Enrolment is commonly secured with an acceptance form and a non-refundable deposit or enrolment fee, so start enquiries several months before your intended start date to allow for paperwork and assessment.
Can children attend public schools and are they free for residents?
Bermuda operates a public school system that is free for resident children and compulsory through the mid-teen years; many families still choose private independent schools for their curriculum, language support or smaller class sizes. If you hold a work permit or are a non-resident, check eligibility rules with the Department of Education or the individual school, because access and fee status can depend on immigration or residency status.
What languages are used and what language learning is available?
English is the primary language of instruction across Bermuda’s international and independent schools, and most schools offer modern-language study (commonly French and Spanish) from primary or lower-secondary levels. If your child needs English-language support, ask schools about English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision, the typical class size for language support and any entry assessments they use.
What should a relocating family look for when comparing international schools on the island?
Check which curriculum and senior-school examinations the school offers and whether that aligns with your child’s future university plans, review published fee schedules and what they include, and confirm admissions timelines and any waiting-list practice. Also look for accreditation or inspection reports, safeguarding and pastoral care policies, language-support services and the range of co-curricular activities; these practical details affect day-to-day fit more than reputation alone.
