Early Years Unit

The Early Years Unit nurtures and develops young students aged 2 – 5 to become caring, responsible, and active participants in a lifelong journey of learning. Through a play-based path built around units of inquiry, students learn in a transdisciplinary and holistic way.

Children build their knowledge base, communication and social skills and develop a positive attitude toward learning and school.

6-10 years – PYP

Tailored to children aged 6 to 10, PYP Elementary aims to nurture their curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills, laying a solid foundation for lifelong learning. At the heart of PYP Elementary is the principle of student-centred learning, where educators act as facilitators, guiding students in their exploration of subjects and encouraging them to ask questions.

11-16 years – MYP

Growth, reflection and action. Five years to focus on their goals.

The Middle Years Programme is a challenging framework for students aged 11-16 that encourages them to make practical connections between their studies and the real world.

17-18 years – DP

The international IB Diploma certificate is awarded by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) upon successful completion of the two-year programme, which covers Grades 11 and 12

The IB Diploma Programme is designed to offer students a rigorous, intense, and challenging academic experience. Its primary objective is to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their university studies and future professional endeavors.

Career Guidance

Career Guidance provides assistance in various aspects, starting from identifying potential academic fields for Higher Education to facilitating the application process to universities worldwide. The primary goal of this guidance is to make the university selection and application procedures transparent, organized, and fruitful for students. This support is offered through both group sessions and one-on-one consultations throughout the academic year.

Within the Diploma Programme, students are guided in exploring diverse Higher Education opportunities, preparing essential application materials, and understanding the application procedures in different regions, with particular attention given to the UK, USA, and Europe.

Special Education Needs

Our teaching style employs a variety of methods and techniques intended to remove barriers to learning and allow every child to thrive.
Our SEN (Special Educational Needs) team supports mild learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD at levels where the student is able to follow the school curriculum and integrate into the classroom with support.
