Welcome from the Head of School
Welcome to Benga Riverside International School (BRIS).
BRIS is an English medium school located on the banks of the Zambezi in Tete, Mozambique. We provide an internationally accredited curriculum, with high quality facilities, innovative and enriching co-curricular programmes and a dedicated staff to prepare independent, inquiring and self motivated future citizens of the world. We believe that, it is an individual's total educational experience that instils the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and values that they will carry with them for life. At BRIS we inculcate a sense of care, pride, responsibility, integrity and open-mindedness.
Benga Riverside International School was founded in 2017 and opened its doors in January 2018 as a primary school offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Programme. As of 2020, BRIS is now offering Middle Years Cambridge IGCSE programme.
Our school unites a diverse group of individuals together in a common vision, mission and set of values that are the foundation of the BRIS community.
Our values - Learning, Community and Leadership - define our approach to education:
-
We learn who we are
-
We welcome and help each other
-
We are path makers
Learning
Our students are exposed to an environment that challenges them to think critically, to apply critical thinking skills both inside and outside of the classroom and to engage meaningfully with local and global matters.
Community
BRIS students are encouraged to create a safe, caring and sustainable environment that supports meaningful relationships within the school’s community and deepens their understanding of different cultures and perspectives in the world around them.
Leadership
Our students know that they play the most important part in their own education. Through ownership, accountability and integrity, our students become advocates for themselves and others.
Head of Benga Riverside International School
What makes us truly unique are our partnerships with Wellington College and the Young African Leadership Programme, you can find out more here. Our aim is to develop future leaders, provide access and opportunity to our students, by instituting a culture of leadership within the school and supporting the growing teaching body.
For us, success is defined by our ability to recruit amazing students from a plethora of nationalities, who can learn and give back to their community, go on to study at the World's best universities, and become leaders in their chosen profession. Success should not be confined to the classroom. We want to see Benga Riverside grow into a regional hub for leadership and training and become part of a community that eagerly embraces inspiration, aspiration and quality education.
