About the School

The British School Yangon (BSY) was founded in 2014 and has quickly become the school of choice for expatriate and Myanmar parents, looking for an international education. Our school has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, a strong sense of community and high academic standards. We deliver the English National Curriculum, adapted to an international environment and we pride ourselves on our personalized approach to education, inspiring our students to build a strong foundation of skills and knowledge which they will continue to develop throughout their schooling.


We currently educate students between the ages of 2 to 18, offering classes from Pre-Nursery Pupils follow the English National Curriculum throughout the school, a highly regarded system of learning and examination. Secondary students will take the (I)GCSE and A Level examinations, equipping them to study anywhere in the world.


Yangon is the main city for expatriate families living and working in Myanmar. It is a large, stimulating and exciting destination that offers a wide variety of experiences. The school has made significant investment in its building and educational resources over the years. As of August 2018 the school relocated to a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility in order to cater for the expansion into Year 10 and beyond. The campus is conveniently located close to Inya Lake on Taw Win Street, opposite Victoria hospital, and giving Early Years, Primary and Secondary students the opportunity to be located on a single site.


We are the only school in Myanmar to offer the unique global opportunities that are available through the Nord Anglia Education family of 68 schools around the world. Our students and staff benefit from Nord Anglia’s exclusive programmes, including our Global Campus, Nord Anglia University, and collaborations with The Juilliard School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and UNICEF.

We are seeking a talented, internationally experienced leader in education to continue to build upon the excellent work our school has done to date. The Principal will inspire, lead, develop and manage all aspects of school life, including playing a key role in nurturing the values and culture of the school. Critical to their success will be the continued delivery of the school’s educational offer and unerring focus on achieving the very highest standards and building strong purposeful relationships within the community.

  • Be an excellent communicator and compelling story-teller
