Welcome to the British School Tripoli, Libya. Whether you are an existing family, a prospective family or are simply curious about what the British School Tripoli represents and provides, I hope you find the following pages enjoyable and informative.

We pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming and friendly school, offering the very best education for the children in our care.

The British School has been in operation since 1968 and was originally set up by The British Embassy, for its diplomatic children. The school has long since become self-financing and self-governing, with an elected parent body representing the Management Committee. The British Ambassador remains as the patron of the school.

It has been quite a remarkable time since the school closed, temporarily, on 20th February 2011. The school was enjoying its highest numbers on roll in its history and there was a strong sense of the school growing from strength to strength on the back of tremendous investment in Libya.

It was with considerable sadness that we witnessed events unfold in Libya, with fighting taking place in many of the streets and towns that are so familiar to those of who lived and worked there. Although inevitable questions remain unanswered regarding the future and the rebuilding of Libya, news coming out of colleagues and friends in Tripoli is very positive and welcoming. We are proud of our long history and look forward to playing a role in the future of the country.

We continue to monitor the situation in Libya, especially now that there is seemingly more positive news regarding peace and stability. As ever, as soon as conditions permit, the school will reopen in order to once again provide the highest standards of education to the children in our care.

We would welcome contact from any company looking to restart or begin operations in Tripoli. Your input is sought to assist us in our future plans to reopen and to help us in this decision making process.

I very much look forward to standing in the playground in the near future and restarting the school that means so much to us all. What a morning that will be!

Best regards,
