Comprehensive Curriculum

At St. George’s International School, we students benefit from a curriculum designed to address the varied needs of an international student body. From the foundational years in primary education to the challenging International Baccalaureate (IB) program, our school ensures that each phase of our educational journey is well-supported and tailored to foster both academic and personal growth.

Primary Education

During our primary years, the focus is on building essential skills in key areas such as literacy and numeracy, alongside grounding in social and physical sciences. The curriculum isn’t just about textbooks; it’s brought to life through engaging activities and themed weeks like Book Week, Science Week, and International Week. These events are more than fun—they are gateways to learning through practical, real-world applications. This stage of our education also stresses the importance of personal, social, and emotional development, which is crucial as it prepares us to navigate the complexities of the global landscape confidently and resiliently.

Secondary Education

As we progress to secondary education, the academic rigor intensifies but so does the support. We follow the National Curriculum for England, which offers a broad and balanced framework, preparing us for public examinations like the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and Advanced Levels (A Levels). However, St. George’s isn’t just about academics; the school provides myriad enrichment opportunities in sports, arts, and community service. These opportunities allow us to discover and develop our interests deeply. Our learning environment challenges us academically while providing ample support through dedicated staff such as Form Tutors and Heads of Year, ensuring we are never without guidance.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Program

In the Sixth Form, we have the opportunity to undertake the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. This program challenges us to excel as inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and risk-takers across a diverse curriculum that includes literature, sciences, mathematics, and the arts. The IB program’s rigorous standards are not just about academic achievement; they aim to cultivate literate, numerate, and socially aware individuals prepared for the demands of further education and diverse career paths.

Conclusion

At St. George’s International School, the learning environment is dynamic and supportive, truly preparing us for future academic endeavors and roles as global citizens. The curriculum is not only challenging but also inclusive, ensuring that each of us, regardless of our backgrounds or future ambitions, receives a quality education that equips us for the world beyond school gates.
