The school was created under a bilateral agreement signed on 9 June 1995 by the Government of the Republic of Ecuador and Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom. This agreement established The British School Quito with the Foreign Ministry of Ecuador, within the framework of a broader cultural agreement between the two countries. In September 1995, BSQ started with 26 pupils. Sylvia Harcourt, current President of the Board of Trustees, was a member of the school community from its very beginning. From 1995 to 1997, numbers increased dramatically to the point that the school had to move to larger premises in Tumbaco. During 1999, the school built the classroom block below the swimming pool, purchased several prefabricated classroom buildings and modified the main building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The British School of Quito」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
