At British School Quito, our core values shape the educational journey of every student. The first of these values is Excellence — a principle that defines our ambition to nurture resilient, independent, and life-long learners.

Excellence: We are ambitious, developing resilience, independence and a life-long love of learning.

In our school community, we live and learn with an active and determined approach to our ambition.

What Does Excellence Mean at BSQ?

Excellence at BSQ goes beyond academic achievement. It is about fostering a mindset where students are encouraged to set high standards for themselves, face challenges with determination, and embrace the learning process as a continuous journey. In our school community, we believe that striving for excellence builds not only knowledge but also character.

To our students and teachers, excellence means pushing boundaries, learning from setbacks, and celebrating progress. This value empowers our learners to become confident individuals who take ownership of their education and their future.

Living Our Values Every Day

Excellence is not just an aspiration — it is a daily practice at BSQ. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or through community projects, our students demonstrate resilience and a passion for learning. This value prepares them not only for academic success but also to become active, responsible citizens of the world.
