We accept students from ages 3 (Nursery Level) to 18 (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme-IBDP).

The Primary school follows the acclaimed International Primary Curriculum (IPC). For Literacy and Numeracy the British National Curriculum is used. The Secondary school follows a British based syllabus with cross curricular links that prepares learners for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and General Certificate of Education (GCSE) examinations in Year 10 and 11, and the IBDP in Years 12 and 13.

IPC, or the International Primary Curriculum, approaches learning through focus on academic and personal development, as well as the development of a global awareness. The five key areas of emphasis are: Academic, Social, Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical. Through the IPC, learning becomes active, engaging, fun and above all, meaningful. Learners find a balance between learning to respect the past and preparing themselves for the world in which they are going to live.

GCSE is an acronym for the General Certificate of Secondary Education and the IGCSE is the International GCSE.This is an external qualification that is usually taken at the end of Year 11 for learners at the age of 16. It is the direct stepping stone to pre-university courses such as the International Baccalaureate. For more information, please refer to our website. What is International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP)?

In Years 12 and 13, learners follow the Diploma programme offered by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO). The course is designed to equip learners with the best foundation possible for entry into the world’s top universities. The IBO was set up in 1968 with this specific goal and is the programme of choice in international schools worldwide.

IB is a two-year programme of study taken in six subjects. Three subjects are taken at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). In addition, learners are required to produce or partake in the three central components of the IB Diploma; these are Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Action and Service (CAS), and an Extended Essay in a personal research topic.
