The British School Manila Strategic Vision

Aug 29 2025

Dear BSM Family,

As this new school year picks up speed, it is clear that we are still riding on momentum from last year, where we have so much to celebrate as a community. Last year was truly a banner year, one that showcased excellence across examinations and higher education placements, sports, the arts, Service Learning initiatives, and sustainability projects. Each of these successes was not simply the result of individual determination, but also the collective strength and spirit of the BSM family: values-driven, committed, and united in purpose.

Our school continues to grow and evolve, and our new campus developments are visible reminders of our shared ambition and vision for the future.

Our Strategic Vision for the coming years reflects a commitment to our students and the experiences:

What gives these priorities for the coming years, life, purpose, and meaning are the people who bring them alive every day. At the heart of everything we do are our students, and every improvement we make is driven by a single aim: to help them flourish. An overview of the development of our Strategic Vision will be available in our Annual Report and online at the beginning of October.

With the new school year well underway now, the message is simple yet powerful: welcome back, and let’s make this year unforgettable. Guided by our values, inspired by our achievements, and strengthened by our sense of community, BSM is ready for another year of growth, purpose, and joy.

Enjoy a family-filled weekend.

Martin van der Linde
