BST offers a contemporary British international education to students in Early Years through to Secondary up to Year 12. The school was established in 2010 and has grown steadily to a nearly 600-strong student body. The school boasts more than 30 nationalities, making it a truly diverse setting in which to work.
All of our classroom teachers are UK-qualified and receive up-to-date training to ensure standards are always high. State-of-the-art technologies and a range of rich academic resources are integrated into our curriculum and classrooms to ensure pupils are prepared for the future. Small class sizes and low student to teacher ratio means that students can receive the support they require to make good progress.
The school has two campuses on the north west side of the city in the pleasant residential areas of Mirzo-Ulugbek. The Sayram campus offers Early Years to the important transition of Year 2 and the Kalandar campus provides a stimulating environment for our students from Year 3 – 13. Primary and Secondary education have access to some superb sports facilities including a swimming pool and gymnasium. In addition, the classrooms are modern with state-of-the art technology.

BST offers a rich and varied education based on the English National Curriculum that allows pupils to explore the breadth and depth of their abilities. Our curriculum has an international focus by offering a dual British-Uzbek curriculum.
See how our students engage in physical education and form healthy habits for life.
BST views after school activities and enrichment as an integral part of the education of our children, and to that end offers a wide range of clubs that aim to introduce the child to potential hobbies, develop particular sports, provide language learning or IT support and inspire an interest in areas that perhaps they would not be exposed to through the normal curriculum.
Our students enjoy learning through educational visits, which are crucial opportunities to expand education beyond classroom.
