EDUCATION
The English National Curriculum provides benefits with a rigorous training followed by all students from Primary Years up to High School but with some differences and learning levels inside the system:
During Primary and Early Years, children learn several main subjects through Key Stages 1 and 2, always having a great and familiar relationship with their form teacher and learning how to live with their classmates. Secondary School starts by teaching Key Stage 3 and 4 programs which offers varied subject packs such as humanities, languages, sciences and arts, finishing with exams in order to achieve the IGCSE qualifications that are recognized worldwide.
The A-level studies take part during the last two High School years in order to prepare students for their future university studies. The BSB runs the English National Curriculum which makes this education worldwide recognized and helpful when the time comes for choosing the bests Universities. The British system is one of the best education systems in the world, being adaptable around the world and offering not only a native English speaking education but also offering Mandarin, French, Spanish, German and Finnish in a high level. Tutoring, small groups of classes and special support is always given by high qualified teachers in case of necessity.
