Academics

The BCI school system has four distinct phases aimed at helping your ward grow.

Early Years Foundation Stage

Our Early Year department follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum of the British National Curriculum, and caters to children from ages one to five.

Primary School

The Primary School serves students from Year 1 to Year 6 (ages 5 to 11), with Key Stage 1 consisting of learners from Year 1 and Year 2 (ages 5-7), and Key Stage 2 comprising learners from Year 3 to Year 6 (ages 7-11).

Lower Secondary

Also known as Key Stage 3, our lower secondary program is developed for the next three years of study in Forms 1 to 3 which corresponds with England’s Years 7 to 9, with learners aged between 11 to 14 years.

Upper secondary

The curriculum follows the British educational model. In the Upper Secondary section, courses are accredited through IGCSE examinations at age 16 and GCE Advanced Level exams at age 18
