BSA offers a high-quality British-style of education that is consistent across its schools and prepares students to meet the growing challenges of a rapidly changing world. Students benefit from an academic programme which is based on a unique combination of the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), the UK National Curriculum and the highly respected International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP). The combination of these distinctive curricula provides a comprehensive, international programme of study which aims to equip every student with the essential skills for lifelong learning while meeting individual learning needs. The schools encourage independence and self-discipline in an atmosphere of mutual respect and appreciation of diverse opinions and cultures. BSA's curriculum determines the precise content that will be taught and provides attainment targets for student learning, including how that performance will be assessed and reported. The BSA programme gives teachers, students and parents a clear and shared understanding of the skills and knowledge that children will gain at school.
