What is COBIS Accreditation?
The Council of British International Schools (COBIS) is a globally respected organisation that accredits British international schools around the world, ensuring they uphold rigorous standards of educational excellence. Schools that earn COBIS accreditation are carefully assessed on key areas such as curriculum delivery, safeguarding, staff expertise, leadership, governance, and the overall learning environment. Achieving COBIS accreditation is a testament to our commitment to upholding the highest standards in education, student wellbeing, and teacher support.
Our curriculum provides a holistic educational journey, enhanced by the resources of the Nord Anglia Education network, which connects our students with 86 schools worldwide. Through platforms like Global Campus and collaborations with prestigious institutions such as MIT and UNICEF, our students have access to invaluable global experiences.
We are committed to having the best teachers as part of the Nord Anglia Education family, and our global reach enables us to attract and retain exceptional educators from around the world. Our teachers benefit from ongoing professional development, ensuring they remain at the forefront of educational practices and can deliver the highest quality learning experiences for our students.
Our dedicated teachers guide students through every stage of their education, following world-renowned British and international curricula. We understand that each student is unique, and by recognising their individual strengths and needs, we tailor learning experiences to maximise their potential. At The British School Yangon, our personalised classroom approach fosters collaborative and social learning opportunities, enriching the educational journey. This supportive environment cultivates curious, confident, and resilient learners who achieve remarkable results. As a testament to our world-class education, our students gain admission to prestigious universities, including University College London, The University of Melbourne, The University of Manchester, University of Bristol, Newcastle University, Royal Holloway, University of London, and the University of Canberra.
Moreover, The British School Yangon places the highest importance on the safety of our students. As part of the COBIS accreditation process, our safeguarding procedures and practices were meticulously reviewed, and we were recognised for cultivating a safe and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and cared for.
As the leading British international school in Myanmar, The British School Yangon provides an exceptional educational experience that prepares our students for success in an interconnected world.

‘Music is a language the whole world speaks’ – An adapted quote from the famous 19th Century Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that still rings true today. Music has always had an influence in every culture across the globe and seems to be intrinsically and instinctively universal.
Last year marked an exciting chapter for the British School Yangon as we launched our first MIT challenges, designed to push the boundaries of learning by encouraging students to dive deep into hands-on, collaborative problem-solving. From Early Years to Year 10, students engaged in challenges that stimulated their curiosity, sharpened their critical thinking, and connected classroom knowledge to real-world applications. What started as an initiative has now become a defining feature of our curriculum.
