The British International School - (Private)

Everything they do is in English and therefore to fully benefit from the programme their students must have a high level of written and spoken English or be ready to work very hard to quickly achieve it. Their admissions assessments test English language levels, both academic and general, mathematics and non-verbal reasoning.
They employ fully qualified teachers who are mainly from England. BISAD has a modern and well appointed building with good technology and facilities to meet the needs of their students, however it is their enthusiastic and well motivated staff that give life to their school. They aim to produce happy children with the ability to think independently and take risks in their learning. they wish them to become good communicators, not just through email and texting, but by speaking to each other and enjoying each others company. British International School students can become life-long learners.

Curriculum / Programs
Their students study the National Curriculum for England and Wales followed by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.The National Curriculum of England and Wales seeks to:
• set out the most important knowledge and skills that every child has a right to learn
• be a flexible framework enabling children to be taught in a way that is balanced and manageable but stretching enough to challenge them and meet their diverse needs
• give standards that measure how well children are doing to support teachers in further raising student achievement.
They adapt the curriculum to make sure it’s suitable for their diverse group of students. As they go through the school, they keep a careful eye on how they’re doing with progressive and continuous assessment and review.
After following the National Curriculum, students move on to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme*.
It aims to:
• develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect
• encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
They think it’s important to educate the ‘whole child’. Personal, Social Health Education is part of this. They teach it at all Key Stages, equipping students with the knowledge, skills and understanding to take responsibility for themselves, show respect for others and develop self-awareness and confidence.
Their attentive class teachers and Student Support Services department look out for students who need support or to be stretched.
