The Chatmore British International School

The school follows 'The Chatmore Way,' which emphasises a balance of strong academics, student wellbeing, and real-world application. It employs the Responsive Classroom approach to support social-emotional development and prioritises outdoor learning to enhance cognitive development and mental health. The school aims to create a family-like environment where students are empowered to discover a love of learning and develop the confidence to become independent, principled citizens.

Chatmore offers a full-through curriculum for students aged 4 to 18, incorporating the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC). The secondary programme follows the UK National Curriculum, leading to IGCSE and A-Level qualifications, alongside project-based and career-focused pathways. The school also integrates literacy, numeracy, science, humanities, and creative arts, with a strong emphasis on mixed-age classrooms and continuous assessment through coursework and presentations rather than traditional testing.

Graduates have successfully progressed into post-secondary education or the workforce. Students may complete IGCSEs or a project-based pathway, and many participate in a Dual Enrolment programme with Bermuda College to earn college credits while still in high school. The school also supports students in obtaining online or in-person certifications to help them achieve specific entrepreneurial or career goals.

Chatmore is a small, inclusive school that values personalised education and small class sizes. While the school supports students with mild learning needs, it carefully reviews each case to ensure it can provide the appropriate level of support; if a student's needs exceed the school's capacity, it guides families toward alternative resources. The staff includes an educational therapist to assist in the nurturing of students.

Chatmore operates on a rolling admissions basis, welcoming applications throughout the year. The process begins with a discovery phone call and a campus tour, followed by an application submission and a trial session—a 'stay and play' for Reception or a 'taster day' for Year 1 and above—to ensure a good fit for the student. The school prioritises early applications by October 31st for those seeking early enrolment, as spaces are limited.

The school's term dates align with the Bermuda Private Schools calendar. The schedule incorporates unique periods for Dynamic Learning Weeks and Learner-Led Conferences.

Located on a lush campus at 'Rockmore Estate' in Smith’s Parish, the school grounds are used to foster a connection with nature as a fundamental part of the learning experience. The campus facilities are also available for rental for special events such as children's birthday parties.

The school offers Dynamic Learning Weeks three times per year, where students engage in real-world experiences such as carpentry, surfing, cosmetology, and entrepreneurship. These weeks are designed to provide access to industries and activities outside the standard curriculum, with teachers participating alongside students. Additionally, the school facilitates various after-school activities and provides opportunities for students to pursue personal interests and certifications.
