Bermuda’s international and independent schools sit on a small island system where English is the language of instruction and class sizes and entry places are limited, so location and timing matter for relocating families. Most private schools combine British-pattern curricula (UK National Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE/GCSE and A levels) with International Baccalaureate options and internationally oriented primary programmes such as the International Primary Curriculum or IEYC. Tuition is charged in Bermudian dollars (pegged 1:1 to the US dollar) and published fees at leading independent schools are commonly in the mid five-figure range, with some schools publishing annual tuitions around BMD 26,000 - 28,000 while others are lower; expect additional costs for books, uniforms, exams and trips. The academic year runs to a September - June rhythm; private schools generally run their own admissions schedules that include application forms, age-related entry assessments or interviews and, for public placement, the Ministry’s registration windows - families should start enquiries well before arrival.

doris lists every international school in Bermuda we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
