Our Curriculum

Our approach is hands-on, learning-by-doing wherever possible in all subjects. We aim to help all students succeed, whatever stage they are at in their learning journey. Students take a pre-assessment before each topic so we know the starting point. This enables us to adapt our instruction to what each student needs(give additional help, extended activities to stretch them, etc). 

Where possible, students proceed at their own pace (but we guide the students to help keep them on track). Some take part in additional practice for Maths, English, or any other requirements (during lunch, or after school). We follow “Modern Classroom Project” principles and use online learning environments so students can review what was covered in class (e.g. slides or instructional videos) and it makes it easier for the student to catch up when they are absent, or work at their own pace. 

We use formative assessments (while learning is taking place) and summative assessments (at the end of a unit or topic) for grading. Students always have the opportunity to participate in additional summative assessments when they feel ready to attempt to improve their grades. We prepare students for SATs and relevant Certiport certifications along with BJC (Mathematics and English Language Arts)  and BGCSE (Mathematics, English Language Arts, Biology, Commerce, and Economics). We provide support for other BGCSEs that are not traditionally taken at ISBET.
