The British School, Caracas (TBSC) is a private school in Altamira, Caracas, Venezuela[1] that provides a British style education based upon the framework of the National Curriculum for England, with focus on Venezuelan culture and history.
It also offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and is regarded as the School with the highest level of education in Venezuela.
The British School Caracas was opened at the old Hacienda Farmhouse in Las Mercedes, Caracas (now the Vera Cruz Supermarket) on 15th of September with 37 pupils and four teachers.
Eileen Hinks (later Eileen Mendt) was appointed as Headmistress.
TBSC was later relocated in 1954 with the addition of main buildings with seven classrooms for 240 pupils (The Mendt, Pre-School and Amphitheatre Buildings today) inaugurated by the British and Canadian Ambassadors of the day.
