Curriculum
In a school comprising young people from some 45 nationalities, respect is a key theme – from and for the individual pupil and for diverse cultural backgrounds and belief systems. We aim for our pupils to develop as enquiring, creative, reflective and motivated learners. Our teachers tailor their teaching to individual needs, to encourage all children to flourish, grow in self-confidence and above all, to fulfil their potential. To this effect, an open partnership between home and school is actively encouraged. An outline of the curriculum Our aim at the British International School, Shanghai is to provide your children with the educational opportunities they deserve. Our system is based on the National Curriculum (England) and applies to all our pupils of statutory school age, Year 1 (5 years old) and above. It is organised on the basis of four Key Stages with individual progress monitored by standardised assessment tests. |
In keeping with our mission statement, our curriculum prepares our students for their role in an increasingly challenging, cosmopolitan and rapidly changing world. Whether at the Primary or Secondary campus, this is done in a stimulating, caring and supportive setting where academic excellence is balanced with opportunities for personal development.
